UK Solution to Knife Crimes

[Arc Light]

If this doesn't work, the UK government promises to outlaw all sharp knives

From the article:

"With knife-related crime incidents at a record high and a reported 285 fatalities in the last 12 months alone, the UK Government has taken the decision to reclassify kitchen knives as an offensive weapon with the new Offensive Weapons Act 2019, leading some retailers to remove single knives from sale in retail stores,” the company said in a news release.

To thick to realize it isn't the shape of the knife that is causing the knife crime.

In the UK where it's fast becoming a paradise for criminals and a hell hole for anybody trying to be a decent citizen.

But of course all the "important" folks have dedicated police protection.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Dismal.

The logic of the author in the OP's link is beyond comprehension. I'm having a hard time figuring out how "people" can allow others to do their thinking for themselves. It just doesn't compute, in my world.

Beyond dismal....

 

[Rthur]

Random thought, as they've all but disarmed(gun rights) the populace,
how can they possibly be still having criminal violence?

When the UK outlawed handgun ownership, except for criminals, I thought what next, knives? Apparently, yes, knives are next. And you know what? The English won't say a fucking thing as they are "subjects".

Coming to a state near you.

Much to learn in your observation.

Not like anyone could put a point on that knife. Shit you can make a shiv out of a tooth brush and kill someone.

LOL, fucking UK and their faggotry...

I got 17 pieces of long flat spring steel stock at the end of my workbench that I picked up a long time ago. With a Dremel and a grinder and some wood, or cloth and duct tape if I want to be really ghetto, I can turn these within one night of work into 51 full tang, double edged, razor sharp M7 pattern bayonets/fighting daggers. However, since we are not facing a cutlery shortage crisis, these pieces are being used for evening out the business ends of stick electrodes that sometimes have flux chipped off the tips due to sticking to the workpieces. And some might be turned into limbs for all steel takedown hunting bows in the near future...

Now I know why Meagan Markle doesn't want to live there. I would take Canada over that shit show too.

Don't forget the Corrosive Substances, control of which is keeping jolly ole Englande safe from acid attacks:

Offensive Weapons Act 2019

www.legislation.gov.uk

Practically speaking there is an endless list of items and substances that can be used to cause harm. So there is still much work to be done.

Canada is heading down that same path.

One of the many reasons why I got a green card, so I could escape that socialist hell hole.

The Laurentian elite in Canada are looking at what is being done in the UK and they are absolutely salivating. I believe they are announcing new gun control measures on Jan. 20th, to ban a lot of currently legal firearms.

Step by step, they are getting there.

Hope nobody in the UK gets killed with a spork.

They will be down to eating gruel out of a plastic bowl that can't bludgeon anyone with, dirty fingers so no one can slip on a bar of soap, while sitting on the ground to prevent falling off thier bean bag chair that some criminal smothered a poor snowflake bastered with.

Pre monty python stupidity.

Wait. Wait. Hold up...

This is the same country whose top university had banned clapping by students and audience members to avoid scaring and upsetting people...

Urging people to use "jazz hands" instead of scary loud noises...

Oxford bans clapping to avoid upsetting students

Hold your applause, please. The University of Oxford has voted to nix clapping in favor of “silent jazz hands” at their future commencement ceremonies to show solidarity with the hearin…

If the mullahs in Virginia want to party, we Patriots here will put on a show to demonstrate to others around the world how it's done.

The UK and California are not going to be criminal friendly hell holes forever. At some point the pendulum will swing the other way and they'll end up with:

Eventually, even the tallest tower collapses from its own weight.

Once the cracks appear, it's over.

So keep on piling on, assholes...

They are gonna have to change that line to:
"Cause they banned knives you twit!"

England does not have citizens, they have subjects.
An important distinction.

The UK is superb at criminalising law abiding citizens to avoid actually targeting the actual cause of crime. In a nutshell we are fucked beyond redemption.

At the very least I hope you blokes can see what happens when you let a bunch of limp wristed elite liberals run your country into the ground.

Handguns are still legal with the right licence. Overall length has to be something like 24”, so I’ve got a .357 wheel gun with a 19” barrel ? you can also buy black powder pistols if you can be bothered (no minimal length restriction) with that and with the right licence you can own “heritage” firearms that are of historic value or form part of a collection i.e a Luger, Webley, Hi-Power etc. But those must be stored at a club and you will face a mind boggling amount of red tape. If you’ve got a section 5 licence you can have whatever the hell you like, but as a private citizen you have more chance of getting a handjob from the pope than getting one of those.

Sad to say but your own government has sold you out.
The entire Brexit debacle is just a sample.
We are __ years behind if we don't change course.
I wish you all the luck in the world.

If I am a lifelong productive and hard working citizen who suddenly got 'criminalized', I think I will show the very party responsible for that penstroke what a true and thoroughbred criminal is like. Just sayin'...

Did you know that you can buy G10 sheet on line and then make some seriously sharp knives and daggers that cannot be detected by any magnetometer or induction based system?

Just sayin
