When will they realize that the WEAPON is not the problem. It’s the person holding it.

It’s be more reasonable to ban the bad guys, but the UK is beyond reason.

They will start pulling teeth any minute now! They can just mush up all the food, and pump you full through a nose tube! I am losing all respect for the Brits, for allowing this to go on without a fight.

When will they realize that the WEAPON is not the problem. It’s the person holding it. Now there you go making sense again! Pretty soon they'll need to ban glass bottles too. Anyone remember the scene, I think in one of the Airplane! movies where they guy "breaks" off the bottom of a cardboard milk carton and threatens someone with it - and they back off? That's what we're coming to...

Next a sharp wit will be banned. The movie your talking about is named The Big Bus. Came out in 76 before Airplane.

You can kill a person with a sharpened pencil.
No more yellow #2 Ticonderogas.
