[Sca-cooks] English Doctors want to ban pointy knives...

[rbbtslyr]

Actually crime stats show that clubs and knives are the weapons of opportunity, with clubs, the ubiquitous blunt object out numbering both guns and knives, at least when I wrote my paper in college back in the late 80s using the FBIs and several states and countries equivelent of "Crime in the United States, guns were not the weapons of choice hands, bludgeons and knives were. So what will the Brits do next outlaw lamps, statues and sticks?  I went back to school in VA for a short period of time as a Criminal Justice Major and dropped out of College again.  I hate you have to take these core courses, they bored me....

  "They argued many assaults are committed impulsively, prompted by 
  alcohol and drugs, and a kitchen knife often makes an all too available 
  weapon."
  In this country those sorts of people just use their guns for
  assaults...
