"If you carry a knife out of self-defence, you run the risk of having it turned on you. Carrying a knife is illegal and will not be tolerated. It could land you four years in prison" Oh, yeah, same old useless arguments, same old BS. If you DON'T carry a knife or some other weapon then the criminals can beat you in the head with a brick or a rock, or simply use their knife or gun on you. What pukes socialists, progressives, communists are(all the same to me)!

Next will be carpenters having to turn in their sharp tools for safe keeping overnight at their local police precint .... or have a special permit to carry them to and from work ...
I guess this is what to expect from a country that caves in to Islamofacists who demanded they not fly their flag because some of the symbols on it offends their sensibilities ... several major companies hauled the English flag down .....

I feel these kind of amnesty programs undermine law enforcement. A criminal can commit a crime using a weapon and then surrender the weapon no questions asked. If he was ever identified, he would be clean of the weapon that could be used to convict him.

Martial artists will have to register their hands and feet. The teaching of martial arts will be banned. They won't stop till the Brits are as helpless as babies.

No, no, the law requires, or is going to require, that all kitchen knives have rounded points. That way they couldn't possibly be used in "stabbing" someone. Also, they are trying to limit the size of knives they can use in the home. No need for a large butcher knife in the house, you might actually cut yourself with it. What candy asses these Brits are to let their government shove this sh** down their throats!

"That is 17,715 fewer weapons that can be used in a crime against ordinary, law-abiding citizens. I don't even know where to begin...

Actually, as the article later told us, this is a general amnesty for all weapons. So, yes, you could turn in your rocks and sticks now - you know, beat the rush and all that.

Did they give financial incentives to do this? I can see this large of a number if they were getting paid for it, every kid in town would be raiding mom's cutlery drawer for a few pounds for gas.
