Now, in the case of UK knife laws, I think they are silly because a lock on a knife is a safety feature. I could have understood a simple < 3 or 4" blade length regulation.
Here is a quote from one of your post's on page 4 of this thread.

"Btw, I have been contacted by UK members in the past over issues like this, when Americans made fun of UK knife laws in confrontational ways.
One of them was an ER doctor who treated stab wounds on a near daily basis.
I know from experience this is a sensitive topic."

A sensitive topic indeed.
So you believe that the laws laid down with regard to knives by Her Majesty's Government of the United Kingdom are silly, and it's OK for anyone other than an American to make fun of our laws.
