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.

The left doesn’t want anyone armed because they always intend to use lethal force to get their way.

Liberals need to be exterminated.

And in other news, some guy named Arthur was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon when the handle protruding from a stone turned out to be an entire broadsword.

“Wait for it - assault spoons.”

Spoons are perfect weapons for plucking eyes out. They must go!
