British Police Call On Nation To ‘Save a Life, Surrender Your Knife’ As ‘Knife Violen
 
This almost belongs in the comedy zone........I can see nanny's like Cuomo, Malloy and Bloomberg salivating over this prospect.

The news out of the United Kingdom almost reads like a satire piece from The Onion. But as strange as it may sound to people around the world, and especially in the United States, the British police push to ban knives is no joke.

The new “Save a Life – Surrender Your Knife” program is in full swing and police are telling us that they have joined forces with an already growing trend in the United Kingdom to ban “pointy” knives.

All LEO's in the UK are issued "stab vests". They have no NLECTC penetration ability, but I am told the Sergeant Major will allow them as alternate wear to the ubiquitous PT belt..

A friend's SiL in Scotland is a COPPER and I check with him before each trip over to see what the latest hot button is.

I am NEVER without a knife. Currently, my Camillus is OK. Under 3 inches, folding, non-blade lock, but I worry about the nefarious can opener & awl being interpreted as a terrorist weapon(s) of choice??

It's not a ban - it's a catch-phrase to a program designed to enhance awareness and education. Meh.

"While projects encouraging the surrender of knives are not a single solution to violence, they have an important role to play in inspiring communities to get behind education and preventative measures."

"Among the weapons given up ... a homemade blade screwed together with razor blades and large knives."

But will the droogs participate? :rolleyes:

And so it goes...

Next thing they will ask for will be your testicles. They will have to ask my wife. She keeps them in a jar in the refrigerator...

I believe Neville Chamberlain came up with that idea. ;)

It is hard to believe that, at one time, the sun never sat on the British Empire.
