Britain will limit sales of sulphuric acid and outlaw the sale of such corrosive substances to children after a spate of assaults and its possible use to make bombs, interior minister Amber Rudd said on Tuesday.

Much to public alarm, the number of incidents where assailants have used acid has risen sharply, with police figures suggesting there had been more than 400 corrosive substance attacks in the six months to April this year.

Poor, pathetic Brits.

Hard to remember they were once one of history’s greatest empires.

Wonder if we soon to end up the same way.

So it's children who are throwing acid on Infidel women and making bombs?

They should limit Muslims, nay - ban Islam, if they want a root cause cure.

But, as I’ve said before, the West would rather commit suicide than be accused of being intolerant.

Root cause is England has converted from a largely Christian nation to a largely atheist nation. Also, what is the ratio of Hindus and Muslims to Christians?

Hey, well, at least Brits are consistent.

Our libs ONLY worry about “GUNS”!!!!!

Don’t worry about fertilizer, swords, rental trucks, or airplanes. No talk about banning them or restricting people using them. Only 1 kind of weapon counts.

Too right. We are becoming the woman who would rather be raped than own a gun and defend herself. Morally superior victim.

Yep. The gun grabbers don’t understand this. What it boils down to is if you outlaw things, someone will get something that isn’t outlawed and use that to exert their will over people who don’t have any recourse.

They could outlaw guns and all metal blades, and someone would use a baseball bat. So they outlaw baseball bats, and someone uses a stick from a tree, so they outlaw all carrying of sticks, so someone uses (insert nearly anything here)

It is the biggest, stupidest, waste of time, energy, and oxygen, and it doesn’t work.

So...instead of enforcing the law, catching people who break the law and punishing them severely enough to make others worry about breaking the law, they restrict or ban the sales of acid.

Oh, yeah. That will work. Of course, they will have to insert some kind of bureaucracy in place to make sure there is some kind of stupid registry and the right paperwork or computer system in place, someone will have to monitor and enforce this, industries that have new requirements to meet will have their costs go up, and will become non-competitive with countries like China that either don’t have a problem where people are throwing acid in other people’s faces, or could care less if they did.

What a bunch of morons. And we aren’t far behind.

So, ban car batteries! Ah, but can’t you throw a C cell battery at someone and break their nose or cut their skin? Make it a crime to carry batteries in your pockets.

Their idiocy knows no bounds. This, gentlemen, is liberal idiocy at its finest.
