See! If you ban guns, then you'll simply have more trouble with knives. What they don't realize is that if they ban knives, then next on the list will be wooden pencils and pencil sharpeners. Everyone will have to use mechanical pencils. By the year 2100, people will need a permit to get a hammer to pound in a nail. God forbid they have to split some firewood or cut down a tree.

No.
The problem with sharp sticks is that it's way too easy to kill someone. I wouldn't be able to kill someone with a rock but with a stick, I'm sure I can easily kill someone. Think about it, it's just darn eay to kill someone with a sharp stick.

This post has been edited by the Truth & Reconcialiation Commission to make it that much easier to hate idiots.

We are so fvcked folks, it's not even funny, someone with a striaght face has suggested banning pointy kitchen knives...

Yet according to FBI statistics people are more likely to survive being shot than being stabbed. Not sure if I can still find that particular link, it has been a couple of years since they let that out of the bag.

We don't live in the stoneage over here, we don't need to fetch firewood to warm our houses.

Personally, I think the biggest reason people commit murder is over females. So I say we ban them too. Just to be safe.

It is the fault of the object used.

What's the real culprit here? I mean, what's the real source of the problem?

Human limbs. That's what. We need to chop off everybody's arms and legs. When was the last time you heard of someone being head-butted to death?

That's rich coming from someone in the country that bans red point pens for marking school papers :roll:

So they say we must ban kitchen knives with points and then:

amongst adolescents, say the researchers, reporting that 24% of 16-year-olds have been shown to carry weapons, primarily knives.

Are they carrying around large pointed kitchen knives? How will banning kitchen knives stop kids from carrying small knives, which ironically they don't want to ban!

I carry a knife, and it sure as fvck isn't one found in the kitchen, and it sure as fvck isn't for stabbing people.

Did you guys at least read the whole article to get a sense of the argument? It actually makes sense to me. :Q

I've used steak knives at restauranted before that have a rounded end, but work just as well as any other knife.

They're not asking to ban all knives, just those that end in a sharp point. Think about it - you do all your cutting on the edge, not on the tip. Like the article pointed out, if you do need a pointed knife, it's usually for carving or pairing, which only requires a very short blade.

keep going down that slippery slope Saga...

That wasn't a country, that was a single school district with an exceptionally heavy bioload of stupidity.
We rounded them up and put them on a boat.
They should be arriving back home in England any moment now.
Run down to the dock and greet them.

so basically, when something outlives it usefulness it's time to ban it? Oh, I understand you live in England, but if you ever get a chance to visit the NE of America you will find many people who still use firewood to heat their homes.

This call for the ban on long pointy kitchen knives is moronic in the extreme. How long does a knife have to be to pierce the carotid artery? One or two inches? What next a law to only allow sharp knives to a maximum length of half inch? No sharp knives at all? These ban happy morons seem to forget that criminals by their very nature don't obey the law.
So long pointy kitchen knives are gone, what next? The criminals will move on to the next readily available item they can get hold of to hurt people with. I guess you will then have to ban that as well. Screwdrivers, hammers, knitting needles, chisels, sticks, rocks, a ban on anything hard and over a certain weight?
All banning does is remove it from the hands of the law abiding people it does nothing to stop the criminals having them or using them.

And don't even think about defending yourself against the criminals. Your expected to just let the scum do as they wish. Just ask Tony Martin about that.

If they want my knife they'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands

what about the right to bear arms? Oh wait, it's England. Their rights have pretty much been stripped to begin with.
