knives, baseball bats, hammers, screw drivers, golf clubs, pipe wrenches ..... are they "traced" when used in a violent crime? Are they traced when "recovered" (I still despise the use of that word in context of a firearm or any other object being taken from another person by law enforcement) from a crime scene, whether a violent or non-violent crime? No doubt those objects would be closely studied as forensic evidence in cases of blunt force trauma, but would they even be considered as additional evidence to be "recovered" in cases of strangulation, poisoning or gun shots, dwi?

Maybe it's time to consider a couple of new fed agencies to protect us as well as the eatbf. We need the "Bureau of Blunt Force Objects and Pointy Things" to enforce background checks for purchase/possession of any and all objects that could be used to cause blunt force trauma or lacerations/punctures, etc. They would also be required to trace any of these objects back to the original manufacturer to possibly incriminate them (in the event they did not stamp/engrave all the required safety warnings on their product).

This stuff is just so convoluted I can't even put my thoughts into coherent words most of the time.
