Mall Ninjas, Warm Up Your Credit Cards!

This was tried back in the pre-Civil War era.

The feeling then seemed to be that a cutlass-pistol was both an unwieldy handgun and a poor knife. That no reasonable military or police force has since felt a need to affix an edged blade to a handgun is not because they were unfamiliar with the idea, but because the concept is, well, retarded.

As are the mall-ninjas who are buying them.
