The place to talk about knives, swords, edged weapons, sticks and impact weapons, restraints, and and the techniques and tools for preparedness and survival without firearms.
And banning them is idiocy. With a coupla hours work, I can turn a file into a stilleto just with the stuff in my garage.

James Brokenshire, a Conservative home affairs spokesman who received the figures under freedom of information laws, said: “Knife crime is a scourge which claims too many lives and ruins countless others.
“Yet under Labour it has soared. The Government’s only response is short-term, ad hoc police operations, the results of which they spin and manipulate anyway to try to get a good story.”
He added: “Combating knife crime requires concerted action in the long and short term, not just spin. As well as deploying our police on to the streets as the norm we would introduce an automatic presumption of jail for knife possession. This may be harsh but it is absolutely necessary.”
That's NO different than what the gun banners would like to see here, and does it impact crime? Certainly no more than that happened over there when they took away people's guns.
Just another MORON of a different flavor.
