Knife Control?

One of the most important Common Law cases around culpability in homicide revolved on a man being battered to death with a chapatti pan.

I'll say this: It makes as much sense as gun control. To the better or to the worse.

Do you often use your gun when slicing meat? It must make for interesting leals

Do you often stab with your knife when slicing meat?

[MikeH]

I did it yesterday.

Actually, I love stabbing things with my pointy knives, but I agree it's not essential to the cooking.

Nope. We Chinese managed to created tiny bits out of food without using pointy knifes for centuries.

Yes, but you end up creating less than optimal pieces for eating when chopping up lobsters and crabs. In addition, you end up splintering the bones when cutting birds (like chicken, ducks, geese, etc.).

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.

there are more differences between Liverpool and Baltimore than just gun.

actually it should be noted that knives are already restricted. At least in the U.S.

There are restriction on carrying knives over 4 inches in length for instance. Those are illegal. You can't have switch blades, and I believe balisongs (butterfly knives) are also illegal.

So why is it we restrict carrying knives over 4 inches in length in public, but it's perfectly okay to have them in your home?

Actually, I don't see why we don't all walk around smothered in twenty-inch thick pillows.

Knife control? **** that, I want my knives. Just make everyone else wear goddamned armor if you're that cowardly.

Toilet roll ? Bar of soap ? Cotton bud ?

I dunno. My criminal justice professor liked to tell us the story of a woman who killed her husband be beating him to death with a bag filled with bars of soap.

although one must consider the impact this will have on the horror movie genre. If the woman in distress can't pick up a big kitchen knife in the movie, what impact will this have?

[Japher]

She'll just have to go for the ice pick, or a pencil.

Thats knifes, but what about forks ? I have a nice steak fork wich certainly could be a deadly weapon, but if it was blunt, I couldn't use it.

I don't mind restrictions on pocket knifes and banning guns, but to extend it to kitchen tools is a liitle far out.

Of course, we could also have a society where anything that cannot be eaten with a spoon is banned.
