So knife wielding crims will have to spend five or ten quid for a knife instead of one. I can see the crime rates dropping before my eyes.
with this move yet more opportunities are being stripped from the working class
OIEY CUNT! DOU YE HAVE A LOICENSE FOR THAT FOKIN' KNOOIFE?!
No one carries kitchen knifes, why would you when you can get razor sharp combat knifes, machetes and what have you for reasonable prices and completely legal (to buy).
hell, hammers are fairly easy to conceal and are not pleasant to get hit by

Damn that's a Stainless Steel Assault Knife if I've ever seen one.
I've actually got one of those and it's a surprisingly good bread knife.
Crimes over lads lets go home and cut police funding.
Now the terrorists are fucked.
I was literally coming in here just to post
"Where will Ashens get his cutlery now?"
Uhm I work security here in Sweden and I once arrested a drunk shoplifter carrying a big Fiskars knife. It is more common than you think.
Wouldn't be better for criminals to have cheap knives instead of expensive ones?
I'll finally get to live out my dreams of lancing peasants with my longsword.
Kitchen knives are the most common knife used in knife crime in the UK.
A knife is a knife, why would you spend loads of money on a specific knife to stab someone when taking a big knife from the kitchen or buying one for a couple of quid does the exact same thing.
A lot of younger people don't just carry a knife because it's a knife, for a lot of them it's more of a status symbol and to show off to their friends, hence all the fuss over 'zombie' knifes which are more or less marketed towards younger people.
Generally the only people you'd find carrying kitchen knifes are drunks and older people who are unaware or don't care to obtain more dangerous knifes.
Ultimately it's a waste of time trying to ban kitchen knifes, those are not the real danger, then again I can't blame people for carrying knifes, you get in to a fight the police isn't going to be there to help you, especially not these days with all the cuts.
One argument people frequently use against gun control is that cars kill more people than guns and yet people aren't making campaigns to stop the sale of cars.
It's not a good arguement because cars have infinitely more uses than taking life, while guns really dont.
But if you start advocating for restricting kitchen knives, then this argument starts to be a lot more legitimate.
The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a knife is a good guy with a knife.
@Hezzy What's your input speaking from experience? Are the knives that are confiscated generally kitchen knives or 'zombie' knives?
Kitchen knives. They're robust and good for stabbing people. Zombie knives are usually made out of really cheap shitty metal which bends or snaps and only really look good but perform badly
Just look at all the knives pictured in recent attacks, they're run of the mill kitchen knives. If only we didn't have ready access to cutlery, Britain would be a safer country
Regulate Cutlery Now
Its almost as if banning shit doesn't work
hmm sounds fuckin familar
Or alternatively another bad guy with a knife. But then you still have a bad guy with a knife to deal with.
Battle Royale is the only way
To be fair banning guns has pretty much worked, how many mass shootings have we had recently
Whereas how many mass stabbings?
Can't get rid of knives really because they're needed for daily food preparation. Felt a bit silly writing that but hey ho
The mass shootings had absolutely nothing to do with the types of firearm used nor how many had them
It was purely the police in the areas of the 2 major shootings being totally incompetant at who they gave licences to
For example, Dunblane guy. Shot kids dead at a school. Doctor warned police multiple times, they didn't listen.
Hungerford guy, warned by multiple people to police. They didn't listen.
After Hungerford semi automatic rifles were banned for no reason whatsoever, after Dunblane, pistols were banned for no reason whatsoever.
"But those laws prevented mass shootings, if they'd had access to those weapons more would be dead!"
Derek Bird, 2010, decades after Hungerford, used relativly easy to aquire firearms to shoot i think 5 or 12 people dead before killing himself.
Every single piece of UK gun legislation has done absolutely fuck all. Gun crime lowered but was A tiny percentage of crime in total and violent crime has increased massivley since then
All mass shootings were caused by police ignoring warnings
Now, with major increases to security and loads of rules to follow to even aquire a gun, there is no reason whatsoever to not allow people to have we had before.
Oh and by the way, this isn't directed at you at all but I find lots of people claiming that we'll end up like America if we "have handguns in the UK!"
To them i say to look at Northern Ireland. They never banned them and they never had the magical issues those people claim we'll have.
