Can the "convenience" of having such a deadly weapon around the house, justify the DEATH of this man??? Hardly!
Why don't you ask his bereaved 8 and 10 year old sons, if you're still not convinced that government should ban such weapons immediately? How many more people will have to die before we get common-sense regulations in place?

ANDERSON, S.C. -- A man was killed Sunday when he accidentally stabbed himself while cooking.
Chief Deputy Coroner Charlie Boseman said that Michael Downing, 32, was cooking food for himself and his 8- and 10-year-old sons on Sunday afternoon. Downing burned himself, jerked his hand away and accidentally stabbed himself with a steak knife that he was holding in his hand, Boseman said.
Downing was able to call 911 and explained what had happened. Downing's 10-year-old son got on the phone with the dispatcher and followed instructions to try to save his father.
Downing was conscious when paramedics arrived at his home on Northlake Drive in Anderson. He was transported to AnMed emergency room where he later died.
Boseman said that the knife had pierced Downing's heart, causing his death.
