Knife Control Silliness In UK

Having failed to control gun crime in UK, the same bunch of idiots now wants to try to control "knife crime."

And when you fail to do that, what will the next target be? Canes, perhaps? What if people start carrying socks with rocks in them?

Here's a novel idea: how about building more jails and locking up people who commit crimes with guns, knives, clubs, etc?

This quote made my blood boil
Carrying a knife or offensive weapon without reasonable excuse is a crime which is being committed far too often by far too many people," he said.

"Every weapon carried about the streets, ...snip... (meaning those carried by otherwise law-abiding people) represents a threat to public safety and public order.

"That is because, even if carried only for bravado or carried for some misguided sense that it would be used in possible self-defense, it takes only a moment of irritation, drunkenness, anger, perceived insult, or something utterly trivial like a 'look’, for the weapon to be produced.
Because the little people are too stupid and easily led to be trusted with sharp things. And what is an "offensive weapon"? A stick?
You can surely see the difference between subjects and citizens and this helpfully highlights why we rebelled.
