      Right. It’s small, and compact, so you can fit in the bike, and quick swing to someone’s Dome just about does it. /s

      Violence is a method of action, some tools are force multipliers in that action, and thus useful in that case.

      Don’t get me wrong, hammers building houses and plow shears have done more to quietly change the world then guns and swords ever have, but guns and swords have.

        Sure. And removing those force multipliers from play can affect the state of the game.

        When we get enough hammer murders, then we can talk about restricting hammer use.
