Docs Want Kitchen Knives Banned in UK
Citing a rash of stabbings across Britain, three physicians wrote in a British Medical Journal article published Friday that the large pointed knife beloved by chefs both professional and amateur was needlessly deadly and should be replaced by safer, blunter counterparts.
Guess Guns were not enough for the Brit Pols
Chefs will have to register thier knives next...lol

Sorry, .gov is not at all interested in making society "safer". .gov is only interested in expanding the control of .gov.

Tyme, wasn't there a mother in Canada protesting against the use of the word "gun" in a schoolbook?
Get rid of guns they'll use knives- get rid of knives they'll use rocks- get rid of rocks- they'll use something else. People in this country like to kill each other.
I was visiting family around New Year's and one of my in-laws walked in with the paper. She was disgusted. "The fifth of January, and we already had our first murder in this town!"
A man killed his buddy with a car battery. Whacked him over the head with it.
You know what this means? I'm calling for a ban on car batteries!
No one should be allowed to buy, possess or carry a car battery without a permit. And they have to be registrered so we can confiscate them when we achieve our goal of a complete ban.
You can only buy car batteries from a licensed dealer like Ed's garage. And he better keep good records- we can't let him lose car batteries like the FBI does. He better comply or we'll send BATF&CB (Bureau of Alcohol, tobacco, Firearms, and Car Batteries) agents in, batteries a blazing.
No one needs a car battery anyway, right? Especially not those "high capacity assault batteries"- no deep cycle batteries allowed. And anything over 12 volts will be a destructive device subject to the NBA (National Battery Act).
Gotta ban those saturday night batteries, too! Everybody knows anything with less than 500 cold cranking amps has no sporting purpose.
Anything smaller than a motorcycle battery has got to go. They're too concealable. D-cells?! I've heard of elementary school kids taking them to school. Egad!
I know some people will be inconvenienced or even endangered by this, but if it will save just one person, it's worth it.
People don't kill people, car batteries kill people.

Aren't car batteries too big and unwieldy to be good weapon?

You would think so... Personally I think a 50 bmg is big and unwieldy, and look what they're doing with those.
I read one of Tonya hardings more recent brushes with the law. She assaulted her boyfriend/husband with a hubcap. They need to be ban those, too, I suppose.
And what is it with car parts used as weapons, anyway? Who has hubcaps lying around the livingroom to throw at somebody? Gotta be a white trash thing. Time for VPC to drag up a study finding a causal relationship between violence and the presence of salvage car parts in the home.
