Create regulations necessary to protect citizens from hammers and instituting background checks for their purchase.

Whereas Vice President Biden says with respect to gun control, "If our actions result in saving only one life, they're worth taking," and whereas according to FBI Crime Statistics in 2011, there were 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with clubs and hammers. More citizens are killed each year with blunt objects than are taken with Rifles. Regulating the sale and possesion of hammers and blunt force object will result increasing public safety and saving lives.
