All the Dindu Nuffins are busy Dinduing, so let's ban private ownership of classical and historical swords on display in the privacy of your own home... Because that's what the Dindus are using. Oh wait.. no they're not. They're using Poundland kitchen knives and.. according to Harrow MPS, pencils. well thats me in danger if this goes further, i go to surveys with pencils in the equipment bag.....in fact the 'clicky' ones are more dangerous as they have metal point hang on i should be fine as i wear a tactical yellow vest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immortal Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 This won't change crime at all. Criminals don't care about law. It just penalises the people that do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 What we need is a police force that operate akin to the city guards in TES:Oblivion. Actually would be hilarious. I just read that back, their AI is atrocious. What about sharp sticks? Sharp sticks are OP as fuck. Ban those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immortal Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Teeth? Finger nails? Cheese wire? Karate chop to the kneck? Heavy boots? Timber? Household chemicals? Cars? Pollution? Stress? NHS? Bricks? Hammers? Bad jokes? They must all be banned. All potential killers. Think of all the snowflakes trembling under their duvets reading that list. FFS.... May aswell ban me too...

Whether that be to a skirmish, a shop, a friends house for a backyard pew. Being sensible is being sensible, but what the person possessing the item thinks is not relevant, it's whether they can convince someone objecting to their possessing it in a particular place which counts. As a rule I say never possess a RIF in public unless you're taking it somewhere, and you have a good reason (which to me, and as you say, means an intent to perform maintenance of any kind, or shooting of any [legal] kind. Same for knives really. That being said, a lot of us carry a knife everywhere, so that's not a fool proof line of reasoning, lets lets leave that at "cutlery knives".

I always have a knife on me, usually a folding blade too. Illegal I know but it's a habit I have had my entire life. Not once have I pulled it on someone in an aggressive manner or brandished it in an unsafe way. The laws on wielding a knife are simple, nothing longer than a 3 inch locking blade. I imagine no one realised you can murder someone quite profficiently with a 1" blade. Believe it or not, I try to be sensible. Most of the time.

Most of the time. isn't it sub 3" locking blade is the limit for not needing to justify having it, you can carry bigger but you need a reason (and relevant, not "i need this 9" bowie knife because i'm a chef") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
