Thread: Sad happenings in the UK

Just came across this and wanted to share:

Surrender your knife | Save a life

First guns, now knives. What is next?

Mods- If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it

Baseball bats and golf clubs,rolling pins,tire irons.!!

Its time to stand up!!!
Enforce laws against liberalism ... Its the #1 cause of the destruction of many countries world wide

Well what you find if you look at the statistical information on places that do not have a lot of guns available, mostly in very poor areas, or those with very tight laws, is weapons of choice change. In most of those areas people arm themselves with knives and garrotes. It in part shows that guns and knives don't kill people, people kill people. It is mostly about the attitude of the populous. If the attitude leans towards violence is ok or violence is just a part of life, then no matter the weapon of choice, people will die, life is cheap. However in areas where violence is not widely accepted violent crimes are very low. So it is really about people and not weapons. Campaigns like this are really more about people trying to change attitudes by the symbolic gesture of giving up your weapons. Tossing a knife on a bin does not make for less knives, because the factories pump them out by the thousands every day. Most are for non violent purposes, but every pointed or blunt object could be a weapon for violent purposes.

Unfortunality many think that simply outlawing weapons will stop crime!

Outlawing stupid people would be much more effective, but the bins would need to be much bigger.

They would also fill up really quickly!!

Cool way to start a knife collection...

Hey, I can riff off the last thread I was on:
STOP the corrosive effects of off gassing!
Turn your celluloid scaled razors into WW243.
Bins will be located throughout the forum.

Money. It's always about the money, and nothing else.
