Wow. I am almost speechless! The similarities between the case for 'knife control' in england and the antis case for gun control in the US are startling. Lets raise the minimum age for buying a knife to 18! That way nobody will be able to get a knife. Next we will have to round up anybody who has a "knifeblock" in their kitchen, AHEM i mean compound, as this is obviously an attempt at building an arsenal.
How can law enforcement possible prevent someone who is intending on commiting a crime from carrying an otherwise legal knife? You could take a paring knife from the kitchen and hide it in your back pocket. I cant imagine what good this law could do...

I personally think that all food should be sold pre cut and all knives and sharp implements should be taken away. Nothing but dull spoons, safety scissors and possibly the occasional spork(after background check of course) should be allowed.
So who's with me. Let's start a cottage industry where all we sell is conveniently bite sized nuggets of whatever so we can get all the knives out of Americas kitchens.
As soon as I have accomplished this, my next goal will be to eliminate trees and the deadly sharp sticks they so often produce that lay in our very backyards for any of our children to pick up. Down with trees. Viv La Arborcide.

cslinger,
Only the JBT will be able to run this business, since all knives will be outlawed! How are you going to make these bite sized nuggets if your tools of the trade are outlawed.

You will of course need a special class 2 manufacturing license that allows you to use sharp objects in the course of your work. The cost for this license and the background checks etc. will of course be rather astronomical so as to limit the amount of businesses that are capable of creating the tiny bite sized bits of food. The machinery will also have to be large and unable to be man carried.

You know what, scratch all that. Let's just give everybody a mandatory labotomy, plug our asses into the Matrix and be done with it. It's for the children.
That way we won't have to go down that slippery costly slope of legislating,
Guns
Knives
Cars
Rocks
Sharp Sticks
Martial Arts
Paint thinner
Hammers
Screwdrivers
The rest of the tools
alchohol
drugs
fast food
buckets of water

Until we figure out that it actually is the idiot using the object and come to that whole labotomy decision anyway. :banghead:

No doubt. The chippers from a Craftsman dado set make excellent throwing weapons, especially if they have recently been sharpened.
This whole nonsense that some humans can prevent other humans from being dangerous, outside of locking them up in an isolated cell, is just that; nonsense.

The law will read: The owning/carrying of an assault knife is illegal; An assault knife is defined as having more than 1 of the following evil features: folding, non-glare blade, edge that can be used for cutting-stabbing or a grip, or a blade longer than 1".

Indeed. One of my friends got in trouble for having a Leatherman tool for his work on his possession.
Could you guys please liberate the UK?

This could get interesting
Am waiting for one of our regular posters from 'across
the pond' to explain
1) why this is not really what it seems (standard tactic)
and
2) why this really is a good idea and the way to curb
crime
Laws are written for 2 reasons -
1) prevent people who are law abinding in the first place
from commiting specified act which is now illegal
and
2) to punish those who go ahead anyway and commit
specified act which is now illegal
The law(s) DO NOTHING to PREVENT CRIME
