Now they are starting in on knives

Pretty soon- No gun to shoot your game- why would you need a knife to clean it! This world is getting messed up. Just google "London Mayor to control knives" and watch your screen blow up.

Here is a tweet from the London's Mayor who is now cracking down on freaking owning a knife!
Mayor of London
✔ @MayorofLondon

No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law. http://www.london.gov.uk/tackling-violent-crime ?

I have not and don't plan on it. To be honest, this just stunned me. Just saying-- LA, Washington, Chicago will be on this just like sheep. Not looking to start a weapons control debate on here I just cant believe it has already jumped to knives. Where do you stop!!! Forks, butter knife long handled axes?

That's the kind of stuff that made people leave 500 years ago to start a new country.

Here in the US it will start with "black knives", aka "assault knives". A blade longer than 2" with a handle capable of thrusting or slicing.

No knives? How do we open the boxes of explosives we order?

As I understand it the so called knife ban is only in London, does not apply to blades less than three inches and does not include home owned knives. It just affects what people can carry around.
It does seem sort of pointless.
