Britain to have "knife control"


Since the banning of all handguns and just about all long guns has done so much to decrease Britain's crime rate, they are now focusing their attention on the terrible threat of ...knives. This poll shows that many more thousands of police officers there have been threatened with a knife than with a gun. Duh, they got rid of guns (supposedly), so of course knives will be used more in crimes. But even with this statistic, only 23.4% said that officers should carry guns. Remarkably utopian thinking, these officers don't have a shred of self-preservation in them. "Oh, the government will think of something." Sheep.

They're even going to have a "knife amnesty day" period of five weeks where people will be able to turn in knives without fear of prosecution. The article does not say exactly which knives are banned. Hopefully the chefs and woodcarvers of Merrie Olde England won't all be thrown into the pokey.

The good government of Britain should realize that if they ban all sharp objects, people will carry rocks and sticks to protect themselves, unlike their police, apparently.

I can see the wanted posters in the post offices now:

Have you seen this criminal?
