"It was shown yesterday at the start of a five-week national knife amnesty. Cops hope 30,000 blades will be handed in, with owners free from prosecution."

In the photo: With those cops leaning over the table and all those knives spread out on the table like that, it's very ominous and frightening.

I'm glad I carry a gun so I don't have to be too scared of running into some hoodlum with one of those ominous and frightening knives.

When lirpas are outlawed. only outlaws will carry lirpas.

Then they'll take away the ahn-woons, those lethal Vulcan Ace Bandages.

They'd be really ticked at Bugei Trading Co then..

Currently, there are about a hundred lawsuits in Scotland, initiated by families forced to surrender their ancestor's heirloom-quality swords.

/Always look to the countries which have been disarmed to see what they have planned for YOU...

“Knife crime will only get worse if we don’t introduce a five-year mandatory sentence for anyone carrying a knife.”

Oh, that ought to help the already "fine" British cuisine. ;)

First the firearms were taken from all but the criminals, then the blades. What’s next, sticks and stones?

Eventually, they'll outlaw fruit. </Monty Python reference>

so what happens when teeth and fists are labeled dangerous. Is the government going to knock out all my teeth and cut of my hands. Jeez, sounds like an islamic hellhole.

[Leatherneck_MT]

You won't be allowed in the King's woods.

You are a mere peasant.

[Ainast]

no, Words...

[Ainast]

OK, I'm going to need some clarification. What exactly defines a knife. I mean are they talking about bowie knives, butter knives or what.

Shouldn't the solution to knive violence be longer jailtime and possible execution?


(you can tell I'm from Texas can't you lol)

That confirms it: it is too late to worry about the gene pool. LOL

I've been told (so this is second-hand from someone who follows such things closely) that the ban is on "edged weapons", which includes anything identified as sharp and pointy by the Powers That Be.

Let's also note that:

1. the British are "subjects," not "citizens," and so have no inalienable rights save those they are granted by their betters, and

2. that almost all the people from Britain I know (and there are a good dozen from all over the isles), find this agreeable since it's for the "common good." I hear that a lot from them. "For the common good."

[Lazamataz]

England is quite, merrily, insane.
