When are we as a country going to face the reality that we have a serious problem, that’s not going to be solved until we get some reasonable sensible knife control in place to stop these mass stabbings? If we can save just one child, it would be worth it. If people didn’t have senseless access to dangerous knives.....

Edit* This is a horrible situation. I am sorry for the victims. What this does is highlight that we have a people problem, not a weapon problem.

Any day now they're going to outlaw this "high capacity magazine" for knives...

It’s only common sense. That’s why they are doing it in the UK.

From the article:

"Every knife sold in the UK should have a gps tracker fitted in the handle," insisted (https://news.sky.com/story/tory-mp-scott-mann-ridiculed-for-fit-knives-with-gps-trackers-call-11665366) Scott Mann. "It's time we had a national database like we do with guns."

Knife control is supposed to be a joke—where control freaks take their next efforts when gun laws prove unenforceable (https://reason.com/2012/12/22/gun-restrictions-have-always-bred-defian/) and criminals decline to discontinue their efforts just because they've been rendered even more illegal. But British politicians took that joke and turned it into national policy. Now they want to double down on that policy because the bad guys still won't play along.
So, laugh at the proposals to ban pointy kitchen knives and to require people to grind the tips off the ones they already own—they're certainly ridiculous. But also take them as a demonstration that life can't be perfected by legislation, and there's no end point to the silliness if you insist on making the effort.



The sun never sets on the Nanny State. :facepalm1: :facepalm1:

it's currently illegal to carry a knife longer than 3 inches in public (without good reason) in the UK.

ROFLMAO... I've carried a knife 24/7/365 since I was about 12 years old... but there is no real need to fear that.... now the firearm I carry is another matter...

Better to have and not need, then to need and not have.
