"KNIFE CONTROL" ANYONE!?

From the BBC - in the heart of TOTALLY GUN-CONTROLLED UK:
(these are BBC HEADLINES ONLY for the last month)

1 Knifeman grabs money in robbery - A robber wielding a knife threatens shop staff and grabs money from the till.

2 A man who murdered his partner in front of her two daughters has been jailed for life at Cardiff Crown Court. Paul Viner, 45, stabbed Donna Brough, 39, to death with a sheath knife at her home in Tylorstown, Rhondda, after she returned home late from a night out.

3 Fresh efforts to cut knife crime - Proposals aimed at helping Scottish police reduce knife crime are setout by ministers at Holyrood.

4 Men held after house knife raid - Police in Grimsby arrest two men in connection with an raid at a house in Nunsthorpe.

5 Knife held to customer's throat - A man holds a knife to a customer's throat during a robbery at a Tyneside petrol station.

6 Armed robbery at service station - Police hunt two men who robbed a petrol service station armed with a handgun and knife.

7 Armed robber holds up nightclub - A hooded robber armed with a knife holds up a nightclub in Derby.

8 Man has knife held to his throat - Two men hold a knife to a man's throat during an assault in a street in Cumbria.

9 Knife-crime battle is stepped up - Police patrols aim to crack down on knife crime in a north London borough.

10 Diamond robber photofit released - Police release an image of a suspected jewellery robber who threatened a couple with a knife.

11 Man with knife robs betting shop - Police are hunting a man armed with a knife who robbed a betting shop in County Durham.

12 Men's sex attack on woman in car - A woman was sexually assaulted by two men carrying a knife who got into her car in central London.

13 Knife gang assaults man in park - A man is punched and threatened by a gang of four as he walks home through a Northampton park.

14 Man still in custody over knifing - Police continue to question a 24-year-old Grimsby man over the stabbing of a New Year's Eve partygoer.

15 Knife attack on video shop staff - A member of staff at a video shop in Rushden is threatened with a knife during a robbery.

16 Man in court over knife rampage - A man appears in court charged with murder and five counts of attempted murder following knife attacks in London.

This PROVES that criminals will commit crimes with whatever weapon they can get their hands on - OFTEN GUNS, OFTEN KNIVES - and that GUN CONTROL does nothing to reduce violent crime, EXCEPT guarantee that potential victims - who are generally law-abiding citizens - will not have the means to defend themselves against vicious thugs.


An armed citizenry is a bulwark against thuggery.

As the song asks: "When will they ever learn when will they ever learn?"

WELCOME readers of THE AMERICAN THINKER; please check out a few other posts. (And if your not a regular reader of that fine blog, yet - YOU SHOULD BE, EVERYDAY! And check what T.A.T. editor Thomas Lifson has to say about gun control.)

FLASH!!!! UPDATE!!!!! THIS JUST IN: FOXNEWS reports that there's been another stabbing in London - at a stampede near a midnight grand opening for a new IKEA! FOX: "The stabbing victim, a man in his 20s, was attacked at around 1:30 a.m. near the IKEA store, a spokeswoman for London's Metropolitan Police said, adding that his condition did not appear life-threatening."

WELL,WELL... I guess the nanny-state Lefties will have to ban knives now - but remember: it's for our own good -- like the banning of our guns, and the banning of our right to smoke in public, and the bannng of hunting with packs of hounds.

After the knife ban goes into effect, I guess all the food in the UK will have to be PRE-CHEWED! Well, we'll just have to get used it: it's for our own good, after all - and THEY know better what's for our own good, DON'T THEY!?

WELCOME DUMMOCRAT READERS! Check out a few other posts. AND: if your not a regular DUMMOCRAT reader - you should be!

Assault Knives Ban

BBC Source
Quote:
There can be no reason for people buying swords off the street for use or to have in their homes," he said.

He said too many young men thought it was acceptable to carry a knife or other offensive weapon.

"It is not acceptable.
:end


NEW
laws banning high street shops from selling assault knives, machetes and other weapons could be introduced by the end of next year.


John Lott
Hopefully, the US government will quickly deal the spread of assault knives in the US.

Great toic, the futility of disarming law abiding citizens only increases the threat of criminals. What did the British envision? That murders, drug addicts and the varied denizens of the London underworld would awaken to obey laws which only go to make their criminal pursuits easier?
Nanny state logic sees YOU, the law abiding member of society, as a larger threat if allowed to be armed.

On the old TV show, All In The Family, the irascible Archie Bunker replies to liberal daughter Gloria's arguments about gun control being necessary to prevent murder: "Would you like it any better if they was pushed out of windows?" I guess that's next, after knives are banned... or perhaps large rocks will be regulated.
