The knife crime epidemic in Britain is really bad...
When children as young as 9 are carrying knives for self defense.....only a fool would think they won't one day carry a gun....
Children as young as 9 carrying knives amid 'Wild West' violence in UK, police say
Children as young as nine are being caught carrying knives as parts of the UK are turned into the “Wild West” by violent attacks, a senior police officer has said.
Assistant chief constable Jacqueline Sebire said that after more than 20 years in policing, the past year has felt “completely different”.
-----
“There are children as young as 12 involved in stabbings. We have nine and 10-year-olds carrying knives.”
Ms Sebire, who is the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) lead for serious violence, played footage of two teenagers fighting with machetes at a Luton shopping centre while “people were pushing buggies past and toddlers were just walking around”.

She added: “We have always had people shooting and stabbing each other but the increases and how sustained it is – it’s not peaks and troughs anymore, it’s just constant.”
