If it's not one thing, it's another...

Well, it seems that now some people in Britain want to ban knives!

Clickity-click!

To me, this is just silly. Are they going to go around consficating knives? Or do they expect the 'yobs' to go to their local police station and turn in the knives? Especially since knife carrying by most individuals seems to be illegal. If they can't enforce that law, how can they enforce this?

And after they ban the long kitchen knives, and somehow get them away from all the crooks in Britain, the crooks will just start using something else, which will be next on the ban list, until nearly every object in the country is required to be covered in soft foam, and people will need licenses to purchase real wrenches.

And yet, for some reason, in America, with all of our long, deadly, unregistered, unlicensed kitchen knives, we don't have this problem.

The UK is becoming quite the socialist paradise. Nothing like the big Nanny Government controling every little aspect of you life.

The justice minister up here is trying to get the Home Office to get airguns banned, as well...

What's gonna be banned next, illegal wars?

Knives like that are already illegal in public places unless you can prove you need them-if you're a chef, for example. So I fail to see why a specific law banning their sale is needed, unless they're worried about people using them in their houses. They also have a clear utility.

This won't get off the ground anyway-last time I checked, A&E doctors didn't dictate government policy.

Seems as though the NRA was right.

You take away guns and something will fill their place - criminals will be criminals and the only people who suffer are sportshooters and now apparently chefs.
