The Chief Constable of Northumbria police Mike Craik said he would like to see implements like kitchen knives only being sold with rounded ends to make them safer.

Ah! On both sides of the Atlantic our civilizations face the grim spectre of Liberal ideology.

Remove the pointed ends, make only blunted ends, and you'll have murderers beheading their victims with blunt knives.


And the chief might consider banning bench grinders as well.


Absolute lunacy.

We must ban all eating utensils. And we must do it for the children's sakes.

The Chief Constable of Northumbria police Mike Craik said he would like to see implements like kitchen knives only being sold with rounded ends to make them safer.

The next step would be "knife control", requiring a background check and a permit before purchasing one, then just ban the beastly things altogether....

For some reason, I hear Jocelyn Elders talking about "We must make safer knives..."

Lets do a couple of things here. First lets put a serial number on them, then lets create a mountain of paperwork, of course we need a govt agency to track that paperwork. And since we know that wont work lets create smart knives that can only be used by their owner. Then we'll need knife buy back efforts to get the old knives off the streets.

this has worked so well with guns its bound to work with kinves.

He explained: "You rarely get victims who are sliced to death . . . they are usually stabbed.

"So, the problem is pointed knives.


How stupid can I be? I always thought the problem was lethal behavior on the part of sociopaths! Thank you Chief Constable, for enlightening me! < /barf>
