London bans “weapons of war”
Glocktalk ^ | April 9,2019

Posted on 04/08/2018 3:33:43 PM PDT by Hojczyk

war might he be referring to?

Knives.

And, acid.

“An epidemic of stabbings and acid attacks in London has gotten so bad that London mayor Sadiq Khan is announcing broad new "knife control" policies designed to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of Londoners looking to cause others harm.”

The mayor further tweeted:

“No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.”

“Never a reason to carry a knife...”

He’s probably right. If you dared to use one to defend yourself, you would be looking at charges.

The current laws are pretty strict:

A non locking 3” blade seems to be legal to carry. But, that’s about it.

Defending one’s self has been illegal in jolly old England for quite some time now.

".... there is never a reason to carry a knife.."

A totally tarded statement.

Lord Baden Powell must be spinning.

"Are fruitcakes illegal yet? Those things can do some serious damage."

Fruitcakes can only do some serious harm if they are elected to Public Office.

The “fruitcakes” are the problem. They are running the city.

The London mayor may have to start thinking about banning automobiles and trucks. They can be a lot more deadly than a knife or even a gun.

The REAL weapon of war, are the Muslims they’ve allowed into the UK, especially into London, where even the mayor is a weapon can be thought of as deadly.

I carry a S&W M&P 3.5 (partially serrated/auto opening) pocket knife clipped onto my pocket everywhere I go. It is not meant to be a weapon, although it could do much damage... It is simply a tool!

Out of the hands of Londoners, but not out of the hands of the Islamic invaders.

“No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law.”

Read that to mean "any law-abiding citizen who is caught carrying a knife will feel the full force of the law." Thugs and criminals, this doesn't apply to you.

Their Muzzie mayor don’t want dem white boys running around with “weapons of war”. The Jihad boys might end up getting their asses shot.

I once saw a man pick up a garbage can and hit another on the head with it.

You can kill someone with a plastic credit card after a few easy lessons. Should those be seen as weapons of war too?

Who need s knife the older gentleman who killed the intruder over there used a screwdriver.

If he'd used a Mai Tai he'd really have been in trouble!

It can't be easy to be a boy/girl scout of you can't carry a knife or matches.

What is next? No merit badges because they promote excellence while offending underachievement?

The only thing that will still swing in England are the law abiding subjects by their necks when the Islamo-facists take over. I used to think that would be in a generation but now it could be in 10 years or less.
