And our courts want to use laws from other countries to help them make law here.


Knife control in Britain
Richard Baehr
A friend visiting London tells us about the obvious and inevitable lesson being learned about gun control efforts. Once again. It isn't the weapon, it is the person who is the problem. He writes:

Stabbings dominate the news here. If you replaced stabbings with shootings, I would have thought I was in Chicago.


Actually, London now has a much higher crime rate than most major American cities. Take out murder, and it is higher in all virtually every other category.

So the Brits are now actually pushing knife control as a solution to the problem of violent impulses among their populace.

From the Mirror-

..."It's getting ridiculous now. Innocent boys on the street are being attacked. One flash of violence leaves so many people haunted forever.

"But if you go out with a knife, you have intent to use it. Laws about knives should be tougher - and the carriers should be jailed.

"That's why I'm backing the Mirror's Stop Knives Save Lives campaign. This all has to stop...

Yeup. What next? Rock, paper scissors has been discussed.

Our police chief here just back from a trip to Poland with lots of other LEA's. He said even the cops there are surprised that we can own a gun, much less several of them. Most crimes there are comitted with clubs and axes, believe it or not. Even the police there cannot carry off duty. Many cops have been prosecuted for simply stopping a crime by drawing a gun. They say that cop should have called an on-duty officer. You would think after the germans ran their tanks over them while they were fighting with axes and pitchforks, they would have learned but I guess that is why there are polack jokes.

"What about pointed sticks?"

How about a slingshot? Or a wooden club? ... tire iron, hammer, screwdrivers, broken bottle, scissors, garrote, bricks, 2x4's .. my goodness, look at all the things that we must ban in the name of public safety ...

I understand that there is a major outbreak of hooligans peeing on innocent victims.

Methinks that bladder control is in order.

how will they cut there stakes

Dont forget the vicious ball point pen.
Or the lawless edge of a credit card.
Or the dangerous spike heeled lady's shoe.

They are all criminals. They attack without provocation. Need to ban them too.

Blunted sticks only and then only if no thicker than a man's thumb and weighing less than a hen's egg.
