Killed by Yoga equipment

"A personal assistant to powerhouse New York real estate broker and punk rock impresario Linda Stein admitted to bludgeoning her boss to death with a piece of yoga equipment in her Manhattan apartment after Stein refused to stop blowing marijuana in her face, New York police announced this afternoon." (emphasis mine and added).

Wow.

I think our federal representatives should introduce legislation to restrict access to yoga equipment. I think there should be background checks which include mental health evaluations. Sure, it wouldn't have helped in this specific case, because the yoga equipment belonged to the deceased. However, studies will show that more people are killed with their own yoga equipment than with that owned by the attacker. Perhaps we should have an outright ban on all yoga equipment?

Add: If we fail to ban yoga equipment, we should also institute a 2 day waiting period before someone can purchase yoga equipment. Also we should ban certain types of yoga equipment. For example, assault mats. I know that technically "assault mats" aren't really a category of yoga equipment, but it should be.

Aloha.
