BRITAIN: Knife Deaths up during anti-knife drive

BBC: Knife Deaths up during anti-knife drive
The number of knife deaths in areas targeted by an anti-knife crime scheme have risen, the Home Office has said.

The government's Tackling Knives Action Programme was launched last July by 10 police forces in England and Wales.

In its first nine months, 126 people died after being attacked with a knife or other sharp object - seven more than in the same period the previous year.

KINDA LIKE MAYBE ER UM KNIFE CONTROL IS AS WORTHLESS AS GUN CONTROL, HUH!?

WHY DOESN'T IT WORK?

SIMPLE: YOU CANNOT LOWER CRIME BY PUNISHING LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE UNRELATED TO CRIME.

TAKING WEAPONS OF ANY SORT AWAY FROM LAW-ABIDING PEOPLE CANNOT REDUCE CRIME; IN FACT, IT INCREASES CRIME.
