"Britain in the grip of knives terror—third of murder victims are now stabbed to death." Banning firearms didn't seem to help them much, did it?
Let's see where this takes them. They'll ban long knives, then short knives, then baseball bats, then forks, then spoons, then nail clippers, then herring...

Me neither, over 25 years since I've been to a real pig roast. It's all so unfair!

The minute they banned guns, the murder rate in England went to zero. The minute they ban knives, the murder rate in England will go to zero, again.
Wrong metrics. The criteria is "does it save one child?" And if we have to kill 100 children to save one child, by golly, that's what we're going to do.

We suggest that banning the sale of long pointed knives is a sensible and practical measure that would have this effect. Every time I hear some condescending nanny-type say "sensible" or "reasonable" I get a bad case of the screaming meanies and want to throttle them.

Years ago, relatives held clambakes every weekend when they owned a fish store. Not just clams and hotdogs and corn, but lobster and crabs and all kinds of stuff.
Haven't had one of thos for eons, either.

My Gawd...This isn't a joke. And it's the same group that accepts chopping babies into little pieces as standard medical practice. The absurdities are endless.

In the other film, Jason Bourne used a rolled up magazine to kill an attackerThe worst ass whuppin' I ever got was with a rolled up one subject notebook. My sensai beat me like a rented mule with that thing, in the course of teaching a class on improvised weapons.

That really is interesting that it is something that is happening. I would really like to see if there is going to be a change to all of these different things, and I hope that there will be more things changed. www.gadgettree.com
