I thought this was an onion article when I first read it.

BBC link

A team from West Middlesex University Hospital said violent crime is on the increase - and kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.

They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available weapon.

The research is published in the British Medical Journal.

Good thing they can't get their hands on guns.

Sadly, there is no option left except to Ban the Butterknife......... and all of its relations, both distant and close.

Ahh... so if a law abiding person can only be slashed instead of stabbed he all will be well?

How they gonna ban fists or feet? You do realize that I could probly beat you to death with my bare hands curval? Or even one of those cricket paddles (I seen shaun of the dead).

You let women and city dwellers vote and eventually.... well... you are all women and city dwellers.

seems that they can't control druggies and drunks so.... they bring everyone down to the level of a druggie or a drunk.

How come the picture of a group of people mugging someone with cricket paddles reminds me of Monty Python.

What are they going to mug him for?

"Pardon me sir, but our bowler has run out of balls. Please be so kindly to give us yours or otherwise we would have to beat the snot out of you with our cricket paddles."

Well lazs...you could try. Just beware the mighty 9-iron.

Of course if you had a gun you could shoot me from hundreds of yards away.

Which would I prefer...violent crimminals with guns or kitchen knives. Methinks the latter. Just a personal preference.

Why put up with violent criminals attacking you with butter knives when all you need to do to solve the problem is ban kitchen knives? It worked with guns, right?

Then when violent criminals start using 2x4s you can pass a law banning boards longer than one foot so they're less of a weapon.

Then you can require all pieces of pipe longer than three feet have a flexible joint in the middle so it can't be swung to make pipes less lethal.

You guys are on the right track for solving all criminal assaults, you just need to ban one potential weapon at a time.

I thought in britian the only crimes there were drive by arguements

Another criteria would be non viloent citizens with guns and criminals who are afraid. But then that would mean discriminating against the poor criminals and not allowing them to conduct their usual activities. Instead they'll just have to ban large knives except for those who absolutely need them like chefs and butchers. Everyone else can learn to eat quiche and other non tough foods. I mean really, who really NEEDS a large knife or any other sharp object. You should be able to feed yourself with a spoon.

Ridiculous arguments. Just ridiculous.

I have read and heard over the years that being shot to death is largely preferred over being stabbed to death. Not sure why except Im guessing that being shot is quicker and most likely less messy. One thing is for sure, people will be killing each other as long as more than two humans persist simultaneously on the planet.

Not nearly as rediculous as an actual serious proposal to ban "large" knives from the populace, particularly with anyone giving any support to it.

Next, people can't be trusted to behave, we must therefore put all people in an institution where they can be monitored and controlled properly so they do no harm to anyone. After all, the government knows best!
