This is really getting silly. I seriously doubt taking away a couple weapons from London street punks is going to make any difference. They'll just find another weapon. What will authorities do when punks use their bare hands? You can't take their hands off. (Ooops, I hope I haven't given them an idea ...)

And I'm going to be totally old school and say the following: parents (and governments) can't prevent every possible danger in the world. Parents shouldn't hide their children from the world because of danger; instead, parents should teach their children how to live in that world, despite the danger.

 Well if British Parliament bans knives, the people can always take solace in the fact that when the muslim extremists take over everyone will be allowed at least one RPG and AK per household.

Just put everyone in jail cells to work as slaves for the government who are all good and benevolent, just like the totalitarian left wants. 

Padded cells.  No shoelaces.  Paper clothes (recyclable, of course).  We can't have the slaves hurting each other or themselves.

Oh, but none of this applies to the taskmasters, who are armed to the teeth.

Wow, I didn't know the knife I keep in my car for emergencies destroys families! I better get it out of there!

Next it will be spoons.  Libs won't stop until we're all wearing chains and striped suits - or we're all dead....

anyone want to go in with me on a company that is contracted by the government to enforce spoon regulation. soon we'll all have our government issued and serial numbered spoon at birth that we'll have to make last for our whole life.

wow now this means gordon ramsey, bobby flay, alton brown, and rachal ray are all going to be criminals soon.

banning knives now huh, where are we going to blame the people who commit the crimes instead of the inanimate objects they use as the tool. how liberally stooopid. 

at this point all i hear in my head is carl saying "some folks calls it a slang blade, but i calls it a kiaser blade" carls is still smarter than a liberal.

well they wont take my knives because they'll have to get past my gun first.

Interestingly, a knife is more deadly at 20 feet than a gun is.  That sounds weird, until you figure out that you still can miss a shot at 20 feet in a tense situation (even when well trained) and that a knife slash can cut across alot more tissue and veins than a gun can.  It is way more difficult to stop bleeding with a knife cut. 

What guns do is give people who are smaller an opportunity to hold off people before they can get too close.  While they might not be accurate, the mere brandishing of a gun is often enough to end a bad situation.

 In martial arts, we actually learned how to use a rolled up magazine as a weapon and believe me that can really hurt if directed at the right place, at the right angle and the right amount of force.
