The Knives Article

  1. Nice article!

    From page 24, next-to-last paragraph:

    The Oregon Supreme Court decided that the
    distinction between defensive and offensive weapon was not unpersuasive,
    because the characteristics of defensive and offense of weapons strongly
    overlap.


    Shouldn't either "not" or "un" go away? As it is, it's effectively saying the opposite of what would make sense in the context.

  3. Found another one. Last paragraph before 'Conclusion' on p.36:

    (for persons those who find them scary)

    Transposition? Or omit "persons" entirely?
