With banning all non-blunted knives, are they going to ban any and all types of sharpening stones and grinders as well? Anyone could take one of those blunt knives and make it have a tip again.
These people really need to stop focusing laws on the method and instruments of harm, and instead focus on the intent of those wishing to do harm. Make harsher laws, like the death penalty, and you will reduce crime.... or at least get rid of repeat offenders! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />
As one of the few dogs living in this mixed up country, on the whole I agree with this...
However- the death penalty will never be brought back. Two reasons, firstly no jury would convict if the defendant faced the noose as miscarriages of justice do occur (both sides of the pond..) and secondly there are too many do-gooder, bleeding heart, wishy-washy, (offenders) human rights obsessed a-holes over here who scare the hell out of the government so they'd never bring hanging back...
Me, if I had my back to a wall and one of those knives handy I'd just go for the carotid artery. On offenders- I just wish the judiciary over here would lock the repeat offenders up for life on the third jailable offence like (I believe) many US states do. That would either serve as a deterrent to others or at least get the pointless pond-life off the streets...
