Bag's Rants

We would ban them but their already illegal. So let's ban something related instead.

You have really got to question the logic behind our politicians.

Gun crime is going up and because of the use of illegal weapons they want to ban currently legal weapons such as airguns and BB guns. Therefore making more illegal weapons out there.

Knife crimes are going up so they start looking at banning knifes and swords. Chefs have already said that there is no need or the general public to have access to really big knives and cleavers and they would know.

That poor kid had her face slashed with a razor blade. Well, we have electric razors now so we can ban all cut throat razors and anything with an open blade in it.

People have been killed with golf clubs and snooker cues. We don't really need them they are just for fun. If they can't play good then we need to ban them as well. The golf guys will lose their sport and the snooker guys can use wooden stakes instead, well, for a while anyway because someone is bound to get a splinter or something.

That guy was shot and killed in Birmingham so we can ban all handguns. Oh, wait a minute we tried that and it didn't work. Gun crime is actually gone up and now you have a greater chance of being shot than you did before. Thanks for that. I feel at lot happier knowing I have a greater chance of being killed but at least I'm not breaking the law. Not yet anyway.

UK laws are already the most draconian in the civilised world. Yet, interestingly enough in countries, real democratic countries, where the people get the choice they vote to keep them despite the lies and myths put about by the anti-gun lobbyists. It just goes to show you that right is not might but instead he who shouts loudest.

It all comes down to the Politicians Dilemma.
This has happened and it makes us look bad.
We must do something to make ourselves look good.
This is something to do.
Therefore we must do this and say it will solve the problem.

Don't ask any questions and confuse the issue with facts. Let's just go on the say so of a few with a lot of moral indignation and big mouths. They are making a big fuss so no need to check the data because they have said it and the papers seem to agree with them. No right thinking person would want it to happen again so everyone thinks this is a good idea.
