The following is taken from the August 2008 issue of America’s 1st Freedom, and it is not particularly shocking. Actually, it is something that everyone willing to look at the situation honestly has seen coming for some time. It is so stupid that it is almost embarrassing to read.
As criminal use of firearms continues to rise in Britain despite the gun ban there, criminals with knives are also causing major problems for law-abiding British citizens.
In what a Christian Science Monitor report called a “growing knife-crime culture,” [DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?] British authorities are finding themselves in a losing battle to stop young people from carrying knives.
Along with stop-and-search operations on the street, the government is instituting a $6 million ad campaign to warn youths about the dangers of carrying a knife. [YES, $6 MILLION]
According to the report, Britain sees 200 to 250 stabbing murders a year, a number that has some pushing for less-lethal knives.
Dr. Mike Beckett is pushing to do away with tips on all kitchen knives in Britain.
“What people want in a kitchen knife is the edge,” he told the BBC. “The point on the end of the knife actually serves little culinary purpose, but it is the point that kills people.” [I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP..."IT IS THE POINT THAT KILLS PEOPLE." iF YOU HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW IGNORANT THIS ARGUMENT IS WHEN APPLIED TO FIREARMS MAYBE THIS WILL HELP TO WAKE YOU UP...I HOPE!]
even a short clip of The Sitter Downers will further demonstrate that the brits (libs) are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. did i say knives? i meant to say brightest bulb in the box. unless of course a bulb is too bright and someone uses it to blind you before clubbing you with a leg of lamb in which case we will outlaw lambs and lightbulbs.

Come to think of it, cricket bats don’t have to be made of wood. I’m sure the game would be just as fun if the bat was made of foam rubber.
After all, the wooden cricket bat actually serves little athletic purpose, but it is the wood that kills people.
