London makes plea for citizens to stop stabbing each other

[P@triot]

How can you not burst out laughing when you read a headline like that? Nothing ends in failure like left-wing policy. Murder has been illegal since the beginning of time. If that doesn’t stop someone from committing murder, any rational person would understand that outlawing firearms won’t either.

Knife attacks are out of control in England. The murder rate in London is now higher than that of New York City. When describing knife attacks and violent crime, British officials are using the words “virus” and “epidemic” to describe what they’re seeing.

Now here is the key. The left refuses to learn from history and they refuse to accept reality. Which means this perfect example of what not to do will be ignored and the left will still demand that the same failed left-wing policy of England make its way to our shores.

So in the interest of progressives being consistent (which we have literally never seen), this must end with the stirring question: Is it time to ban assault knives?

Is it time to ban assault knives? London makes plea for citizens to stop stabbing each other.

By "London," do you mean that dingbat Muzzie Mayor?

We all know that people don't stab people, knives do! And some knives are obviously designed for the sole purpose of killing people. Hell, yeah! It's long past time to ban knives, and not just assault knives 'cause we all know that if assault knives are banned, then everything from butcher knives to butter knives will start killing people!

Calm down. Britain (London is in Britain in case you hadn't noticed) has really tough knife-control laws. You're not allowed out of your house with any sort of knife, including a simple utility knife, unless you can prove it's required for your job and you are going to, are on, or returning home from that job.

So it's obvious that all this banter about knife killings in London is just so much bullshit fake news because knives are already are illegal there and NOBODY would break that law! Just as nobody would ever break the countless laws that make cutting or otherwise maiming folk illegal.

Failure?

Why is success a murder rate at like 5 per 100,000 and failure a murder rate at 1 per 100,000?

I don't get it?

It's like why supporting the Confederacy is being pro-American, pro-US troops (only 140,000 died, hey?) and kneeling at an NFL game is being anti-USA and anti-military.....

nothing makes much sense.

Yep-

The maximum penalty for an adult carrying a knife is 4 years in prison and an unlimited fine. You’ll get a prison sentence if you’re convicted of carrying a knife more than once.

Basic laws on knives
It’s illegal to:

• sell a knife to anyone under 18, unless it has a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less
• carry a knife in public without good reason, unless it has a folding blade with a cutting edge 3 inches long or less
• carry, buy or sell any type of banned knife
• use any knife in a threatening way (even a legal knife)

Scotland
In Scotland, 16 to 18 year olds are allowed to buy cutlery and kitchen knives.

Lock knives
Lock knives are not classed as folding knives and are illegal to carry in public without good reason. Lock knives:

• have blades that can be locked and refolded only by pressing a button
• can include multi-tool knives - tools that also contain other devices such as a screwdriver or can opener

Banned knives and weapons
It is illegal to bring into the UK, sell, hire, lend or give anyone the following:

• butterfly knives (also known as ‘balisongs’) - a blade hidden inside a handle that splits in the middle
• disguised knives - a blade or sharp point hidden inside what looks like everyday objects such as a buckle, phone, brush or lipstick
• flick knives (also known as ‘switchblades’ or ‘automatic knives’) - a blade hidden inside a handle which shoots out when a button is pressed
• gravity knives
• stealth knives - a knife or spike not made from metal (except when used at home, for food or a toy)
• zombie knives - a knife with a cutting edge, a serrated edge and images or words suggesting it is used for violence
• swords, including samurai swords - a curved blade over 50cm (with some exceptions, such as antiques and swords made to traditional methods before 1954)
• sword-sticks - a hollow walking stick or cane containing a blade
• push daggers
• blowpipes (‘blow gun’)
• telescopic truncheons - extend automatically by pressing button or spring in the handle
• batons - straight, side-handled or friction-lock truncheons
• hollow kubotans - a cylinder-shaped keychain holding spikes
• shurikens (also known as ‘shaken’, ‘death stars’ or ‘throwing stars’)
• kusari-gama - a sickle attached to a rope, cord or wire
• kyoketsu-shoge - a hook-knife attached to a rope, cord or wire
• kusari (or ‘manrikigusari’) - a weight attached to a rope, cord, wire
• hand or foot-claws
• knuckledusters

We all know that people don't stab people, knives do! And some knives are obviously designed for the sole purpose of killing people. Hell, yeah!

Because according to progressives - guns are responsible for murder. And thus, eliminating guns would eliminate murder. Has that happened in London? Yes or No?

 

[Mindful]

London has surpassed NYC for gun and knife murders?

Actually, the exact opposite is true. But we would expect nothing less than misinformation from you.

Everywhere that concealed carry was passed, crime rates plummeted (including murder). Because nobody murders an armed person.

I’ll say it again (for you illiterate left-wing types)...

In times like these you have to turn to the wisdom of America's Greatest Leaders..

No. When the police only have whistles and radios and every public space is a "gun free zone" the criminals MULTIPLY...

It's the DETERRENCE factor of knowing you're not safe that keeps criminals from wantonly murdering people...

It's NOT the "gun violence rate" it's the MUCH larger deterence factor. Petty hoodlums aren't TRYING to get killed.
