The UK is insane… here you have Idris Elba calling for the removal of *points* from kitchen knives to stop knife attacks… He also says they should BAN all “heritage knives” and you should need a license to own your grandad’s sword because current “loopholes” allow people to buy ninja swords. This is the same logic that leftists in the USA use for guns, blaming the guns instead of blaming the people who use them for violent attacks. Guns don’t kill people. Knives don’t kill people. PEOPLE kill people. Owning a gun is illegal in the UK (with very narrow exceptions). If making guns illegal stopped murder, then the UK wouldn’t proposing blunting knives and making swords illegal. But let’s just say the UK managed to blunt all the kitchen knives and ban all the swords, then what? Will murders stop? Of course not. What else will they need to ban? Will automobiles become illegal? After all, you can drive a car into a crowd and cause a lot of carnage. What about lashing a rock to a stick to make a club? What about chipping away at that rock to sharpen it to turn it into a rudimentary axe? What about just sharpening a stick? What about rubbing a rock against the tip of your blunted kitchen knife until it becomes a sharp point? What about glass windows? They should definitely be illegal because you can break a window, wrap a piece of cloth around a shard of glass, and voila, you have a knife. A small minority of people will always use tools to do bad things. Banning those tools doesn’t stop bad people from doing bad things. It just stops good people from using the tools. (It also leaves citizens completely disarmed and unable to resist the overreach of a fully-armed totalitarian state).

pretty sure it's the pharmaceuticals making people insane, not the weapons

Hello I'M Muslim and I invite people to learn about Islam. Please watch my blog 👇explaining with pictures and videos about Islam https://jesusen1.blogspot.com/2017/12/what-is-islam.html  I wish you a happy life....Thank you 🔴 What Is Islam? 🔴 Islam is not just another religion. 🔵 It is the same message preached by Moses, Jesus and Abraham. 🔴 Islam literally means ‘submission to God’ and it teaches us to have a direct relationship with God. 🔵 It reminds us that since God created us, no one should be worshipped except God alone. 🔴 It also teaches that God is nothing like a human being or like anything that we can imagine. 🌍 The concept of God is summarized in the Quran as: 📖 { “Say, He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like Him.”} (Quran 112:1-4) 📚 🔴 Becoming a Muslim is not turning your back to Jesus. 🔵 Rather it’s going back to the original teachings of Jesus and obeying him. More .....👇 🔴 THE RETURN OF JESUS

What a tool.
the fault also lies with their people who have done nothing to even frustrate their plans, they have not done anything that has caused them to lose control of something.
OK but by that logic, bread doesn't make sandwiches, people make sandwhiches
There is a culture in the UK that loves authority. The more of it, the better. These people are drunk on power in the name of morality. Very dangerous people. Trump should Maduro the UK, that should take them down a peg.

Next they'll ban old files and truck leaf springs because they are knife precursors.
It’s called appealing to China’s laws. Every country pushes it in different forms.
It’s as if they could just grind a sharp tip back onto a blunted knife end. These leftist actors are amongst the biggest shill retards on planet earth. I’m sure they’re paid to spout off this bullshit.
I remember during some riots which had looting in London back in 2011-12 that the best selling thing in the sports category in the UK were baseball bats. This is a country that doesn't play baseball. People will make creative use of all kinds of objects. Regulating all of them is killing mosquitos with bazookas. View quoted note →
It's cute how you still think this is an argument others need to hear which might change their mind.
Yes… glad I wasn’t the only one who caught that…. He’s probably thinking of The Walking Dead.

I'm in Edinburgh UK, I've never once seen a knife used as a weapon, or even a proper fight. It's f*****g weird to be told there is this big problem where I live but to see no evidence of it in actual life.
The sheep in the UK think authority is the answer to everything. They truly have no self thinking abilities.
All BS but what's new. The UK is pitiful, but it's not the people , it's the succesive governments that have run the country into the ground.

What an insanely stupid and narrow-minded perspective! What about the vehicles used in the German Christmas market murders when some maniac drove through one and killed several people. Do we ban vehicles? Please tell me these people aren't procreating!!!!
I think some laws are to suppress and show authority. Others are also there to make sure risky tools are where needed. It is also something that is known as common sense. Leaving a baby uattended besides a lake is irresponsible. Being cautios when a kid comes close to boiling water is responsible. So isnt it responsible to have deadly tools in less places, since they offer opportunities for harm too? I mean it is reasonable even, when there is no law and no outside rule that tells me to keep guns in save locked places and rather use knives without a point, when I have no need for it.
I mean, even a knife without a point, that would need to be thin and rigid enough to slice and cut and still be used as a knife, would still be able to stab someone quite easily, especially by someone who is trying to stab.
This type thinking is laughable, anyone who tries to defend it in any way is a simpleton and that includes saying you shouldn’t talk about other countries or nation states. Get rid of the point on a knife how stupid can you be….
In this instance a laws is being proposed to not have points on the end of knives. The law can't protect stupidity it seems, because the knives still have the sharp blade on them. Since criminals don't obey laws, a rounded point on a knife won't stop them from hacking at people. What next, legislating against rocks in case a nutcase uses one to kill people with? But the sheep think more authority is the answer. They authority to be their mom.
