Al Sharpton: Next Up, Knife Control

Rev. Al Sharpton told a radio caller that it could be time for knife legislation in addition to gun laws.

"In any civilized society you do not see massacres continue to happen, from Tucson to Aurora to Columbine to Virginia Tech to where we are now in Newtown to Chicago and you keep the same laws when clearly they're not working," the MSNBC host said on his radio show Friday.

"What happens when the criminal goes to knives, Al?" the caller asked.

"Then you deal with knives," Sharpton replied. "The same thing as if you have a head cold and the same thing you do if you have a head cold and the cold is gone and you have a headache. Then you take headache medicine. The job of society is to deal with whatever problem confronts it."
