A&E doctors are calling for a ban on long pointed kitchen knives to reduce deaths from stabbing.
Britain started whittling away its gun rights nog long after the gun entered the battlefield. As a result, most Britons today, have no concept of private ownership of guns. The Dunblane massacre of the 1990s eventually led to parliament all but ending private handgun ownership and severely limiting all other forms of firearms. Predictably, crime has continued unabated since then and arguably gotten worse.
With guns being off the table as the boogieman de jour, stabbings and slashings make the headlines. As a result, kitchen knives are now the latest evil that must be purged from society. No one needs a 10-inch long slicing knife to carve a roast. No, you should make do with a 3-inch butter knife! Up next for ban…Spoons!
