Scuba Forum / General / August 2006Scottish knife control
The Scots recently held a "knife amnesty" where all sorts of blades were turned in. There is a proposal in the parliment to strictly regulate the sale and possesion of bladed instruments (knives, swords, cleavers, etc). It seems that gangs have taken to using knives and the vast majority of all homocides last year were knife related. I guess banning guns wasn't enough.

Of course, that sort of statement makes the Aussies think of Scotland as a sex vacation destination... People don't kill people, knives do...

They need a psychological screening program for prospective gangbangers. If they demonstrate violent or antisocial tendencies they should be rejected. Those who show a bent for golf or hockey will be moved to the top of the approved list as they will of necessity have higher than average social interaction skills.

"psychological screening program for prospective gangbangers" Such as it is, it's one of the most coherent things you've said yet.

Unfortunately in Britain it is not the knife or even the person who carries the knife that is at fault. The fault lies with person who deliberately sets out to be stabbed and throws themselves onto knives that are being carried for "personal protection". These suicidal people should they survive being stabbed should be locked up. Dont tell T Blair and his politically correct gang.

In America, it isn't the knife, it isn't the knife wielder, and it isn't the recipient of the knife's cutting edge. It's the manufacturer of the knife cuz they've got the deepest pockets. > The Scots recently held a "knife amnesty" where all sorts of blades > were turned in.

The U.S. has had knife control since 1958 (maybe earlier). >> The Scots recently held a "knife amnesty" where all sorts of blades >> were turned in.

Those would be banned under the proposed regulations. Signaturedillon How much power does it take to run a server farm?

How're they going to dance their traditional hopscotch over swords now if they can't buy swords? I see a lot of kitset packages being sold in the near future... a length of steel, a fancy hitl, a few grinder discs and instruction booklets. They aren't swords (yet) and won't be illegal. but after a bit of work hobbyists will be able to jump over them :D |
