British Judge Calls for Banning the Sale of Large, Pointed Kitchen Knives

The UK is in the midst of an epidemic of knife attacks so, naturally, the idea is being floated to ban them.

Crown Court Judge Nic Madge said in a speech that there should be a nationwide program to file down the points of large kitchen knives and to ban their sale.

Telegraph:

Judge Madge told the assembled  judges, barristers and court staff: “These offences often seem motiveless - one boy was stabbed because he had an argument a couple of years before at his junior school.”

He said laws designed to reduce the availability of weapons to young would-be offenders had had “almost no effect”, since the vast majority had merely taken knives from a cutlery drawer.

He said: “A few of the blades carried by youths are so called ‘Rambo knives’ or samurai swords. They though are a very small minority.

"The reason why these measures have little effect is that the vast majority of knives carried by youths are ordinary kitchen knives. Every kitchen contains lethal knives which are potential murder weapons.

"Accordingly, it is very easy for any youth who wants to obtain a knife to take it from the kitchen drawer in his home or in the home of one of his friends.”

Why stop at banning kitchen knives? Let's get to the root of the problem and ban kitchens.

Accordingly, it’s also very easy for any nut who wants to stab someone, to file a point onto a knife, or even simpler, just use a screwdriver. (Or are they banned now, too?)

What about these?

Waiting for someone to don a battery pack and run around attacking with the disposal.

British judge calls for banning of rocks and sticks.

After being driven back to the age of stone by government regulation, Britons seem to be using old-fashioned weapons to plummet each other.

“He said laws designed to reduce the availability of weapons to young would-be offenders had had ‘almost no effect’”

He got something right though.

here in Boston they are trying to ban glass in restaurants and bars because a few guys got clocked off the head with one recently.
Unbelievable..
Well we may soon be going to fancy restaurants and drinking from plastic..

Surprisingly, knife caused deaths are right up there with guns.

In fact, here is an article that reveals that there are four times the number of knife related deaths than rifle related deaths.

This was news to me also, when I hear of it late last year.

Well okay, but it’s going to be doggone nigh impossible for junior to stack up alphabet “balls”, instead of alphabet blocks. (And we’ll have to ban trees. They can be turned into all sorts of weaponry. In fact, we’ll have to go back to the Neanderthal age, before simple tools were invented. That ought to please the globull warming camp!)

One day I was shooting in the Trinity river bottom with BuckeyeTexan, and my scope cover blew off the bench and down the river bank.

She says I’ll get it, I’m like NO its a $4 item and a 35’ crumbly bank and I don’t want to fish you out of the river...

There she goes, and I’m like Come back! be careful!

She hollars “I got it!” and makes her way up the crumbling river bank... I yelled get a hand hold! just as the bank broke away...
She produced a 12” Marine Corp fighting knife from her boot, sunk it into the bank for a hand hold...

Judge Madge, that is why we are Americans and you aint! LOL

[Flaming Conservative]

Time to ban pointy-headed British judges.

LOL! NOW you’re talkin’!

[DoughtyOne]

Good point. I’d also like to remind folks that they have 4, 8, or 12 knives in their homes used at meals.

It’s just laughable the idea we could do away with them.

Then there’s steak and cooking knives also.

[Chode]

that'll prolly be in the next release

[petro45acp]

The ultimate goal of such socialists is to have their subjects safely contained like this:

The #1 method of homicide in UK is “putting the boot in”

Getting your head kicked in is highly sophisticated.

Way back in the days of sail, of wooden ships and iron men, one of the boatswain's first duties upon departure was to collect all knives from the crew, snap off the tips and return them.
A good portion of these sailors were shanghaied, as in drugged and kidnapped from waterfront bars and many did not want to go on a voyage, but needed knives to perform their duties. They were essentially slaves.
