All our local crime will be solved soon.
Reading in our local paper it seems we are introducing a new violent crime fighting initiative. Great. Then I read the fine print. It seems that we are setting up an amnesty for knives. Whoopie Do Dah. That will fix it. Seriously though, the police are going to collect knives from law abiding citizens and actually believe that will reduce violent crime.One of the statements was 'Look around your home, check your sons' and daughters' rooms, if your friends carry knives or your relatives have sporting knives they no longer use then this is your chance to get them out of circulation and stop them falling into the wrong hands'
Great just search everyone else's personal spaces confiscate their property and then get rid of it because, as we know, there are no legitimate reasons to have knives.
I've carried a knife around since 1985, old fart that I am. I also have a collection of knives, sad fart that I am. I just have a thing for knives. To date only one idiot has been injured by one of my knives. Now I have really sharp knives of various lengths, some outside utility knives with long strong blades with gutting hooks, a couple of axes, swords etc. This wasn't even a special knife just a working tool. Yup, I stabbed myself whilst cutting opening a cardboard box with a stanley knife. A savage assault but only the guilty was injured.
Of course we all know what will happen here. People will still get stabbed and threatened by blades. Next thing we will have an ineffective law regarding them and before you know it many law abiding citizens will be criminals.

Looks like the government is getting ready to implement it's gun policy- disarm the law-abiding populace so that only the criminals are armed.
And then sit and wonder why more and more criminals feel that it's a good idea to pack weapons...
I've got a sword set on the wall and the blades are really sharp. How are they going to deactivate them so they can't be reactivated? I certainly won't be handing in anything if I can get away with it.
This creeping criminalising of all weapons is why I find people thinking they are going to relax the gun laws so strange. This bunch are drawing up plans for banning so much that how anyone things they will relax anything for us surprises me.
I think specialised target shooters under very stringent conditions is the limit. And people like me, and excuse the assumption, yourself won't be able to get involved.
I am convinced the policy is that they want bad guys to kill us. Gives them an excuse to clamp down on us then they get the bad guy to show they mean business. Win win for them.
