If he is criminals it is one things but lets see situation from other point/Right of self-defense is one of basic of every human /Question is how and what type of weapon can use for that/ Even a good person can have knife too because it is logic he afraid of criminals and do not beleve that police can protect him/So it is must be clear regulation and investigation of every weapon using situation/Other way situation so shameful stupid that even difficult to explain from logic/Gung member have knife,and other weapons/For good citizen all weapon is prohibited/But tell me please how ordinary person can protect him self if he dont have anything for that and police never will be in time when criminals attacking you or others?
Is that the only way Judges keep these people convicted. Doesn't they break every law of this country.
