Knife Control?

Re: Knife Control?

"Can sharp stick control be far behind?"

This guy doesn't know that he isn't joking. Sharp stick control will be next, followed by blunt stick control. There are no extremes to which the English government will not go to persuade its citizens that life is being made safer for them (regardless of whether it is or not).

Except that these were doctors writing in the British Medical Journal, not Nanny Government wagging its finger at us.


Still, it does make it all the more obvious why we have stringent gun laws in the United Kingdom.

Would you bet money on the UK government not doing this? I wouldn't.

The UK has stringent gun laws to make it difficult for the violently insane and politically extreme to get hold of guns. Unfortunately the determined criminals are a bit too smart to be stopped so easily.

Yes, but your post implied it was the government behind this call. It wasn't, for once.


The gun laws are there to prevent the same people who stick knives in each other to settle simple domestic arguments from buying handguns and doing the same thing, but at a distance.

In case you hadn't noticed, they work- which is partly why Liverpool doesn't resemble Baltimore.

Pointless to outlaw these knives. Humans can be slaughtered with just about any tool or object in sight.

Hmmm.... least likely domestic tool or household object for effective disposal of another human being.


Toilet roll ? Bar of soap ? Cotton bud ?

There really isn't much reason for kitchen knives to have a point, you know.

Oh it's all pointless.


I can't go on. I must end my life with a squeegee mop or chamois leather cloth.

[chequita guevara]

I think the chamois is a much more comforatable way to go.

You first, big guy.

If the bar of soap is hard enough it's of good enough use for bashing someone's head. I don't know what a cotton bud is.
