    As much as it seems like something out of a bad sitcom, yes that is exactly what they were imagining when they created the current definitions for prohibited devices...

    ^ note that they are in the kitchen, with what appear to be kitchen knives, which are the #1 knife used in homicide. However we do not see a ban on kitchen knives.

    Signed!

    Wife signed too, even though she rolls her eyes every time I buy a new knife, lol.

    Too bad GoFundMe demands a minimum $5 tip to make any donation to the campaign. I'm not giving them a penny, will contact the lawyer and see if she takes direct transfers.

    Don't laugh too quickly.... it was about 10 years back that a doctor's lobby group in Britain tried to push for an all out ban on pointy kitchen knives and only allow the sale of blunt tipped ones. It's always easier to blame things than it is people....

    Im sorry this sounds obtuse but I dont understand your hostility towards gofundme. Don't they deserve to get some compensation for hosting these fundraisers?

    Only 5%. Won't be $5 until you donate $100. If you only donate $20 you would give an additional dollar to gofundme. Unless you are putting forth a pretty sizeable donation, it seems like a lot of gyration to save a couple bucks.

    Seems like a pretty good gig, but for the trouble involved I just paid the minimum.

    Didn't work that way for me. You HAVE TO "tip" which then becomes a service charge and NOT a tip. I put down OTHER because I'm not interested in giving them 10%, at which point it demands minimum $5. Pack of thieves. Go see for yourself.

    If they were honest and just said they apply a flat rate 10% commission I'd likely have been okay with that. Demanding tips is not acceptable business practice.
