Does not sound like a vey practical solution as there are probably a billion or so long knifes already in UK households. We probably have about 30 long knives in our household alone. Other Villagers probably have a many and I would expect so too would many UK households.

I know his point was probably along the same likes as mine judging from his other posts.

I do think that something needs to be done in the US about whatever kind of weapons a reasonable person would describe as military style.

Smart girl...I have a friend whose nephew was killed by stabbing in Scotland last year. Scotland has launched an aggresive Anti Knife campaign. It seems we humans can find a way to do harm no matter the weapon and that's the shame.

FYI

When I was 15 I was mugged and stabbed in the abdomen, I was hours from death. Only good fortune and a good surgeon saved my life.
So until you have walked in my shoes and I hope you never do, please do not comment on my motives.

You have 30 long knives? Why so many? How long are you talking? I have one.

Military Style Vehicles and Military Style Alcohol kill more people? and contary to the opinion of our president the Military does have Bayonets (a kind of knife) and
other edge weapons. where of where does the banning stop.

I never heard of anything more ridiculous in my life! What next, wooden spoons? God knows splinters are a great danger!

I guess anything seems ridiculous until you become the victim.

Just where does it all stop, is my question. I am certainly not downplaying anyone's suffering as a victim of crime. It has happened to me as well. What I am certain of is the there is a "person" doing the crime, not an inanimate object. The object itself does not cause the crime - the assailant does.

I did not know that. But you seem very much against any kind of gun ban in the US. Why would you be for a long kitchen knife ban in the UK? Does not make much sense.

Many sets of kitchen knives have various long knifes. http://www.everythingkitchens.com/cutlery.html#large

I would expect that some UK households also have swords and the like because of the interest in English history in the UK.
