Great Britain On The Verge Of Banning Knives
Can forks be far behind?
In London, where 20 teenagers have been killed with knives so far this year, the police embarked on a six-week blitz in May. About 27,000 people were searched, 1,200 were arrested and 500 knives were seized, the authorities said.
The Conservative Party said the government’s plans did not go far enough and called for steeper penalties. The party’s leader, David Cameron, told reporters: “If you are carrying a knife and you are caught, you should expect to go to prison. Plain, simple, clear.”
Gun control advocates often scoff at the notion that criminals, if denied access to guns, would simply pick up other implements to use in their crimes. Yet it would seem as though what is going on in Great Britain is evidence in support of this claim.
Banning guns hasn’t done anything to actually stop crime in Great Britain. Meaning that it’s not the guns that commit the crimes but rather the people.
