Doctors seek kitchen knife ban EDWARD BLACK

Key points • Doctors claim long kitchen knives serve no purpose except as weapons • 55 out of 108 homicide victims in Scotland were stabbed last year • Police superintendents say a ban would be difficult to enforce

Key quote "Many assaults are impulsive, often triggered by alcohol or misuse of other drugs, and the long pointed kitchen knife is an easily available, potentially lethal weapon, particularly in the domestic setting" - Dr Emma Hern, writing in British Medical Journal

And fingerprinting....all this is pathetic yet funny....kind of like Democrats

[PzLdr]

I would assume that many of the assaults are caused by British and Scottish cuisine. Haggis, anyone?

[elmer fudd]

They can have my Ginsu knives when they pry them from my cold dead fingers!

Heck, I'd just give them the Ginsus. They'd be saving me the trip to the curb. Now my Masamotos, Henckels and Globals are another story. Them's knives worth fighting for.

Rocks! Eocks! Outlaw rocks!

The doctors are vegetarians. As you should be as well! Where do you come off eating meat? Who do you think you are?

Knives don't kill people.

People kill people.

Support your right to arm bears!

HO AXE....no, these are knives. That axe is already banned in Scottland.

[TChris]

Support your right to arm bears!

That's right! Arms don't kill bears, people do! ...and eat them with garlic mashed potatoes and a good gravy. :-)

This is the home of Braveheart and the Claymore?

I am ashamed for my ancestors

[Redcitizen]

From BraveHeart to WimpHeart...

[Graymatter]

They're getting closer all the time. Any day now they'll figure out that the real problem is...
hands

"I am pretty sure that the pee pee pants behind this don't eat meat at least in the traditional sense"

Easily the funniest post of the day!

[doodad]

And I debone a chicken how? With a paring knife? Spoon?

[vrwc0915]

You are the first one to get that :)

[Fierce Allegiance]

I'll bet that kind of passion shows in your cooking.

[Tijeras_Slim]

The only tool you need.

[rockabyebaby]

Some how, some way, this is Bush's fault!

[Fierce Allegiance]

Good thing my tongue is long enough to get to the bottom!

Use a church key on each end and suck the contents out!
