In the meantime it is illegal for a person under the age of 18 to purchase a set of silverware in England for fear that the knives or forks will be used inappropriately.

Other dangerous arms featured in the grim haul are nunchuks, knuckle dusters, a giant flick knife and crude planks of wood with nails hammered into them.

So at this point, the prevailing wisdom for weaponry is that wood with nails are "dangerous," yet we're over here in America talking about removing defensive weapons from the hands of the law-abiding.

Liberals make me physically ill.

This is clearly a sad and pathetic joke; however, it is also the Obama administration blueprint for the future of the United States, and the United States Constitution be d*mned.

England slips voluntarily back into the stone age.

But, if just one life is saved, it is worth it. Totally.

I purchased an Egg McMuffin to share with my wife and asked the cashier to cut it in half. She said they didn’t have a knife because they had employees under the age of sixteen and couldn’t have them. I pressed her for a plastic knife so I could do it myself, they didn’t have those either.

I would say this is unbelieveable, except it isn’t.

I would say that the best way to stop crime in the U.K would be to castrate all male babies at birth. But, it sounds like they have already tried that

Maybe these weapons could be strategically placed around the world to defeat globull warming.

In this country, just about all of the items in the picture at the top would be called tools and utensils, not weapons.

How did the “British Empire” conquer places like India without a machette? At a minimum, one would think that the nation famous for their gardens would need something with which to whack weeds. Have they really fallen this low? Or is that a silly question?

What the heck...there’s a pair of scissors (with the blue handles)....a baseball bat...a quite a few steak knives.

I’ve always wanted to get one of those ridiculously oversized pocket knives, like the one being held up by the guy with work gloves.

What’s in the “BIO HAZARD” containers? Dangerous cotton swabs?

Thanks be to Bush, we’re doing the same thing here!

Been to an airport lately? TSA has these pikers beat by a long shot!!
