I saw Diane Finestein (how ever you spell it) on C-Span one day , and she
was wanting to ban the sale of camo clothing. She said this is what the
military used and the public did not need anything military. On the same day
another senator wanted to ban Swiss army knives because he thought they were
really used by the military. There is a push in the government of the US to
keep anything military out of the hand of the public.
