Y no Screwdriver Talk?
More classy Spokane:
Swords and machetes and screwdrivers are becoming the weapons of choice for idiots. I haven't done the numbers, but I'm pretty sure incidents with this class of weapon are MORE common than gun incidents now.
Both sides of the weapon debate are falling behind this trend.
On the Soros side, there isn't any agitation for knife control or screwdriver control. (At least not in USA; seems to be happening in England.)
On the non-Soros side, there's a huge community of gun fanciers who support all sorts of radio and TV shows and web forums dealing with a wide variety of numerical details. The typical call on such shows is a complex set of numbers. Model number and year of gun, caliber and weight and powder characteristics of cartridge and slug, magnification of scope, antler count of buck.... All of the numbers are both precise and familiar to the discussers.
Why don't we have Screwdriver Talk shows, with callers passionately debating the static and dynamic puncture properties of a Torx T30, or the quick-draw velocity and momentum of a 1915 Stanley Model 20 6-7/16" slotted, rebeveled to accept Whitworth standard?
