“Ceramic and plastic knives kill real gud.”

I have a buddy who was found to have a ceramic knife after a secondary inspection at an airport.

Worked out OK after many months.

The court dropped charges and returned his knife.

O6 and a 14 year SEAL at the time...

Kaffir has something to do with peanut butter, right?

Nerfs are gateway weapons. Why wouldn’t you ban them too?

These people would have a cow if they saw the assault knives in my kitchen knife blocks. Let alone the machete in the yard tool shed.

I carry a short length of Kevlar line with me when I fly. Good for tying up a broken suitcase or securing the neck of a perp.

Eliminate clothes (they can be twisted into ropes and used to suffocate).

Last I checked, the problem is not in the schools.

This fixes nothing.

So did I. I should have known better. Liberalism is not just a mental disorder. It’s deadly.

It sounds like there is money to be made in Europe by investing in Security products manufacturers over there.
A booming market for all sorts of gizmos, cameras etc.

> ‘Knife wands’ to be handed to every school in London <

Wait a minute. I thought these Islamic knife attacks happened out in public. This knife wand thing, that implies that kids are bringing knives to school, and are stabbing people, while at school.

Has that happened, even once?
