64. That's a fair point about same sex marriage. ....

Twenty years ago I would have never predicted that it would happen. Twenty years ago I would have been against it. Today I see no problems with it.

As far as knives much depends on what state you are in and where you are at. I've carried a fairly large hunting knife in a belt holster in the small rural Florida town where I live and it attracted no attention. It's legal. However if I open carried carried the same knife in downtown Tampa I might be stopped and questioned by the authorities. It is possible that I could be arrested and have to hire an attorney to argue the law for me. Therefore in large urban areas of Florida, i simply carry a concealed knife which is legal since I have a concealed weapons permit. Unlike most other states the Florida carry permit allows the holder to carry a variety of weapons.

The 2013 Florida Statutes

790.06 License to carry concealed weapon or firearm.—
(1) The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is authorized to issue licenses to carry concealed weapons or concealed firearms to persons qualified as provided in this section. Each such license must bear a color photograph of the licensee. For the purposes of this section, concealed weapons or concealed firearms are defined as a handgun, electronic weapon or device, tear gas gun, knife, or billie, but the term does not include a machine gun as defined in s. 790.001(9). Such licenses shall be valid throughout the state for a period of 7 years from the date of issuance. Any person in compliance with the terms of such license may carry a concealed weapon or concealed firearm notwithstanding the provisions of s. 790.01. The licensee must carry the license, together with valid identification, at all times in which the licensee is in actual possession of a concealed weapon or firearm and must display both the license and proper identification upon demand by a law enforcement officer. Violations of the provisions of this subsection shall constitute a noncriminal violation with a penalty of $25, payable to the clerk of the court....emphasis added

Now I am not a trained in the martial art of knife fighting so I don't carry the knife as a weapon but as a tool. I carry a snub nosed .38 caliber revolver in a pocket holster in my pants just in case I am attacked. Admittedly the chances of this happening are extremely slim but still not nonexistent.

Recently I've started to carry an ESEE Izula-II neck knife with a 2.63 inch blade under my left arm and my shirt. I've found it extremely comfortable to carry and although it's small, it's an excellent knife for most tasks. I am wearing it as I type this.

I could be wrong about the black market for foreign firearms. The demand might not exist as we currently have 300,000,000 firearms in our nation. You can pass all the laws you want and many of these firearms will NOT be turned in. Of course an effort to confiscate all firearms could easily lead to an armed rebellion and some states would secede from the union. In my opinion the benefits would be outweighed by the violence and disruption that would result. You may have a different opinion.

I don't spend a lot a time worrying about my guns being confiscated. In my opinion the chances of that happening in my lifetime is about the same as my chances of winning the Florida Lotto this week if I decide to waste my money on one ticket.
