Britain has effectively banned firearms, so in recent years the country's criminal class has turned to killing with knives -- leading certain church leaders to call for banning the sale of common chef's knives.
I swear I'm not making this up.
In the Diocese of Rochester, church leaders published an open letter urging government to "take urgent measures to promote the sale of safe kitchen knife designs and restrict those designs which have been used in so many acts of violence."
"Knife violence" in Britain is up an estimated 80% in just the last five years. |

This is beyond stupid. Given a half a brain, anyone can take a round kitchen knife and grind a "pointy end" on it with a file, some concrete or a handy rock.
Next they will ban all utensils and force people to eat with their fingers.... |

TO REMEMBER |
| A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks. — Thomas Jefferson, Encyclopedia of T. Jefferson, 318, Foley, Ed., reissued 1967. |
