Should hammers have similar restrictions that guns do?

Asked by Cruiser (40449points) October 20th, 2015

A Minnesota man arrested for bludgeoning his grandmother to death with a hammer told police that he attacked the 84-year-old victim because she blew her nose at the dinner table.”

Steele, who claimed to have heard voices in his head, told police that he “believed that if he killed the victim the feeling and smell of mucus that he was experiencing would go away.” Steele confessed to striking his grandmother in the head with a hammer “seven to eight times.”

Again, we have mentally unhinged committing senseless murders. Regulating hammers is obviously not the solution, but when we have people biting of the faces of others, what is the answer to preventing these insane events from happening?
