Arrgh! The insanity continues: Boston Globe Online reports Few limits on who buys knives online

The largely unregulated world of online knife sales was thrown into the spotlight yesterday when prosecutors said that either Robert Tulloch, 17, or James Parker, 16, bought a military-style knife on the Internet - and allegedly used it in the slaying of two Dartmouth College professors.

Will someone tell me what they think is so complicated about a knife that would prevent someone from just making one? It doesn't take much to figure out how to put a sharp edge on a piece of metal or even a piece of plastic.
