Ted’s right, of course, but there’s something I don’t understand about the knife crime epidemic in Britland:

Once the populace was disarmed, the criminals still had guns, didn’t they? Lots of cheap handguns flooding in from former Soviet bloc and China.

But now, thugs would rather stab their victims than shoot them, even if illegal guns are available? It sounds like something truly insidious, a mass psychosis, is taking over the Brits. Violence that used to be the specialty of soccer yobbos (and they used fists, mostly) seems to be spreading like mass mental illness. Are the Brits so purposeless and disillusioned that turning on their fellow humankind is the only outlet remaining?

Thoughts?
