Scottish knife control

The Scots recently held a "knife amnesty" where all sorts of blades
were turned in. There is a proposal in the parliment to strictly
regulate the sale and possesion of bladed instruments (knives, swords,
cleavers, etc). It seems that gangs have taken to using knives and
the vast majority of all homocides last year were knife related.

I guess banning guns wasn't enough.

Yep, banning butter knives are next... Obviously a country of sheep...
Of course, that sort of statement makes the Aussies think of Scotland
as a sex vacation destination...

People don't kill people, knives do...

Hmm....have they tried banning gangs, or making homicide illegal?

Unfortunately in Britain it is not the knife or even the person who carries
the knife that is at fault.
The fault lies with person who deliberately sets out to be stabbed and
throws themselves onto knives that are being carried for "personal
protection".
These suicidal people should they survive being stabbed should be locked up.

Dont tell T Blair and his politically correct gang.

Association.

In America, it isn't the knife, it isn't the knife wielder, and it isn't the
recipient of the knife's cutting edge. It's the manufacturer of the knife
cuz they've got the deepest pockets.
