Knives Handed In At Police Stations

[Suave]

One time I found a UK knife enthusiast discussion board. Did you know that there's this subculture in the UK of knife freaks? Much like our gun freaks they talk about everything knife related, and ridiculously expensive custom knifes. "Who makes a better blade" or "I got 250 lbs to spend on a knife, which should I buy"  threads.

If these weirdos lived in the US they'd all be gun freaks, and vice versa.

LOL, people aren't supposed to own kitchen knives?

What about other tools that could be employed to harm human flesh? Are chainsaws and axes and sickles unlawful utensils too?

[Suave]

Just the introduction of the term "domestic knife" is absurdly funny. How many other countries have gone to even this length?

As opposed to the wild knifes that ran free throughout the countryside stabbing hapless victims with impunity until the great knife roundup of 2001.  These days only the domesticated remanents remain but they resented the human dominance which resulted in the recent attempts at a knife final solution known as the dulling of Britan.  No one can predict the outcome of this great struggle but it seems the dulling process has gained great traction and British are collectively become duller and duller.  Will the sharp knifes regain their freedom?  Will Britain become a land of dullards?  Stay tuned folks!  The battle has yet to be decided!

there have been a series of high profile violent stabbings here in a short space of time, that is why it has been introduced.

i think it is a good thing.

So I gather you are pro dullard?

someone hit on it...  the weapons will continue to evolve...   what needs to be done is to ban testosterone.   A chemical neutering (something your-0-peeans are getting good at) is what it needed.

With all the chemical neutering research out their it should be a snap to rid the tiny little island of testosterone.  

Think about it... how many women stab people?  

I don't think I ever go anywhere without a knife on me... they are really useful to me... like a big sharp fingernail...  I have never stabbed anyone.

rabid... I believe that in another thread the brits were voted "most boring people on the planet" by your-0-peeans..

When are they gonna ban swimming pools? Don't people drown in those?

[lazs2]

This from the land of Orwell?

Doesn't anyone read "1984" anymore?

I would venture to say that todays youth... your-0-peeans especially, reading 1984, would not find it a very interesting book....  no big deal...

 When we read it.... it was a monstrous horror story... every page was filled with things that happened in a world that could never exist except in some nightmare.

now.... it is simply a model for modern socialism.

Sussex 2010-  People gather any large sticks or rocks they may have in their yards and turn them in to the local police. They are careful to use only smiles when doing this as harsh words and frowns are illegal. There is talk of a PottyMouth Amnesty next year however.

So the politically bankrupt government who is trying to bolster it's image decides to try to enforce a stupid piece of legislation which has been on the books for years and largly ignored.  Yes the carrying of knives in public has been on the books for at least 20 years to my knowledge and yet I still have a Swiss Army knife and carry it routinely as do millions of other people.  And our US "allies" wade in on the UK population as a whole ....

Lets look a bit deeper eh ??

Sussex Population (combined east and west from 2001 census) = 1,245,000.
Knives handed in =68

Yep we Brits are just standing in line at the Police atation chanting "Must hand knife in .... must hand knife in"

You think no-one here sees it ?? Check here -

The current Labour Government is imploding and these are the death throws. The same thing happens in any failing government - sort of like sending 6000 National gaurd to protect a 2000 mile border.

Why do you think it's a good thing?  What is it accomplishing?

[lukster]

Will your government or civilized society prevent the physically strong from taking advantage of the weaker? Only a naive idealist, ignorant of human nature and history would believe it'll work out this way.

It's the principal of it. Don't you find that piece of legislation idiotic? If someone wants to hurt someone , they will do regardless of wether they possess a gun, knife or whatever.

The problem to me is, the more efficent weapons you take away, the more gruesome, violent, and bloody the crimes will be. Instead of a nice hole in someone's skull(gun), or a clean stab wound, you'll now have a bloody mass of goo where someone's head used to be after  it was bashed in with a brick, or a board or something.
