What we need is...

Some common sense Branch cutter control.

A man with a history of domestic violence was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly stabbed his girlfriend with a branch cutter, seriously inuring her early Saturday on the South Side.

Obviously, the proliferation of these assault branch cutters must be stopped. We need to look at ways to close the hardware store loophole that allows these dangerous weapons to be accessed easily. We call for a 5 day waiting period and branch cutter registration to stem the tide of this violence.
