Call for Bans on Knives in the U.K.

To be or not to be...

Let's discuss

I carry a spyderco endura everywhere.  Clips into my front hip pocket and the patented circle cut in the blade allows me to have it opened with my thumb within one second.  Wouldn't be caught without it even though the blade length extends beyond the "legal length".

First dentists, now knives

criminals will always have access to guns & knives, take them away from 'joe public' Mr & Mrs homeowner, and what do you have? a bunch of thugs running wild taking advantage of those without, that's exactly what's happening in the U.K. guns & now knives; do not kill people, people kill people. thank god for the NRA and the protection of rights to bear arms. There are 240 million registered firearms (pistols & rifles) in the U.S. by private  law abiding patriotic citizens ready to defend home, and country. Take away their guns? you'll create the most lethal army on the planet, just try it! and knives? debateable, the absolute stupidest thing I've ever heard of, maybe the UK (where people get slapped around, unable to defend anything)

"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns"

Hawk, you have steak knives, chef's knives, butter knives, fish knives, hunting knives, butcher knives, carving knives, tanning knives, just to mention a few of many varieties available, does that also include banning the purchase of a Swiss Army Knife? I am just trying to figure out how on earth are they ever going to enforce such an asinine law ,if and when or where they ever pass such a ridiculous enactment, One thing for sure, It'll never ever happen in the confines of the USA, that goes for firearms as well as knives..

Regulations in UK.allows anyone to carry a blade exceeding the length of 3 inches for religious reasons.

The Religious Discrimination Act safeguards the Sikhs to carry the Kirpan.

So,the Dagger that Sikhs wear is a religious symbol, not a weapon.....so they can wear them.

How about a gun as a religious symbol ?

I think,, I'll become a Pilgrim......Here's how the Pilgrim's began their church on Sunday in Plymouth in 1627,:

"They assemble by beat of drum, each with his musket or firelock, in front of the captain's door; they have their cloaks on, and place themselves in order, three abreast, and are led by a sergeant without beat of drum. Behind comes the governor, in a long robe; beside him on the right hand, comes the preacher with his cloak on, and on the left hand, the captain with his side-arms and cloak on, and with a small cane in his hand; and so they march in good order, and each sets his arms down near him." During the early years of Plymouth, failing to bring your gun to church was an offense for which you could be fined 12 pence.

Not to worry,this law will go the way of the codpiece once UK has been Islamified and under Sharia Law the longblade is the tool of choice to deal with Infidels.

According to British Medical Journal, doctors and police favor a ban on long pointed knives (swords) to reduce violent crime. Almost sounds similar to American Public Health Association call for gun control?  However UK already has laws against possession of weapons in a public place without good reason.  Since 1990s, violent crime has been declining.

Can you claim Australian "Diplomatic Immunity"?
