Why does the UK have laws banning knives? Why are sharp pointy pieces of metal banned in the first place? How retarded is the government of Great Britain? I’ve always thought of the idea of making certain items illegal because they can be used in murder stupid. This happened in America during 9/11, which was a mass stabbing/vehicle ramming attack, but on a much higher scale than anything the UK has seen. But instead of banning knives, which they used to kill 6 people on the planes and injure another 5, they went after airport security, homeland security and foreign policy, which lead to every American being summarily treated like a terrorist. Why haven’t liberals learned from 9/11 that the government banning things or enacting new laws for this reason generally isn’t a good idea?
Knife laws in the UK
And also, ignore the other threads. This board is being spammed with anti-gun shit for some reason now. This question is for Britanons.
They want to take your money without pushback.
"Liberals" are a miniscule number of real people.
The gov has created and used social media to make them look real. AI bots, chatbots, etc.
They are creating chaos intentionally. Weaponizing info using the net.
Knives are not banned here. Stop getting all your information from shitposters on Jow Forums. Use your own brain occasionally.
Technically they're not banned you're just not allowed to carry a fixed blade over 3 inches around with you
I was told they dont. Apparently they cant own pocket knives but they can own kitchen knives steak knives and that sort.
it's not the government, it's the british, they love being oppresses by this point it's in their dna
also a majority of porn searches by "men" from Britain especially white ones have to do with being dominated by a nanny like figure, that is how fucking deep this shit goes I am so happy I am not british
You can own pocket knives, you can even own a gun, you just can't carry the former round in public without a good reason or the latter outside of areas it's been licensed to.
The law is literally only there to stop the blacks from killing each other, which is useless, because blacks don't follow the law. Target stop and search used to help but that was deemed (((racist))).
I say we arm them to fuck. We don't have as many blacks here so they'd wipe themselves other out within a generation along with all the chavs.
>Why does the UK have laws banning knives?
Because our government is retarded
>How retarded is the government of Great Britain?
It's like watching a downie with three stamps "Ban", "Tax" and "License"
>Why haven’t liberals learned from 9/11 that the government banning things or enacting new laws for this reason generally isn’t a good idea?
Because you want to be seen as doing "something" rather than doing nothing, even if that something isn't positive, it's shockingly like California, certain types of style of knives are banned, we can no long knives to our houses etc etc.
funnily enough Firearms don't get the same types of bans, mainly because our licensing system for firearms is a pretty well kept open secret and hard for mongs, nonces (post Dunblane) and nutters to get access to.

The only people still up at this time are the ones you don't want answering your question.
This tbqhwy.
It's a typical American habit at this point isn't it to strike people whilst they're sleeping.
no longer order knives to our houses*
holy shit I'm tired.
Because the retards in the UK, and by extension the rest of the faggotwealth believe that banning things is the only way to stop bad shit happening.
They successfully banned guns, and so their massive number of criminal shits started using the next available tool, because of fucking course they do.
Now they ban that, except that like guns in the USA, knives are incredibly prolific.
So despite all their efforts, tje establishment simply can't get them all.
(and making a simple shank is far easier than making an smg)
If they somehow managed to remove all knives from circulation in the UK, I expect criminals would simply start clubbing one another with sticks.
At which point you'd see
>don't be a dick, ditch that stick
Etc.
I’ve been realizing knife laws and perpetually changing. The bait and tackle shops used to sell nice ones. For fishing of course but then they stopped selling them. Now all you see are fillet knives. Which are hell of a lot sharper. So I don’t get the law.
The source of it all is literally crying mothers. The government needs to be seen to be doing something to make them stop.
there are only laws about age restrictions and carrying large knives around in public. there's a few other things can't remember but it's the usual crap, just look at the politicians lol tells you all you need to know
Because the British government is obsolete and needs to be torn down and built back up
You faggots are limited to non locking 2 inch bitch knives, don't lie, faggot.
Brits: Please get back your guns & weapons
Such a dumb law. Do they outlaw forks & cooking knives too?
>The law is literally only there to stop the blacks from killing each other
You guys shouldn't be having niggers there to begin with it. Niggers will kill each other without knives or gun. They are an inferior race.
>t.nanny state
....which are useless against someone assaulting you.
He said own, not carry around with you without a reason to do so. And it's 3 inches.
Other types you can carry if you have a reason such as work or fishing etc. Self defence is not considered valid.
all they had to do was refrain from importing niggers and moslems
instead the decided to destroy society and ban everything except for niggers and moslems
>Because our government is retarded
It's the Queen's fault, & you know it
Imagine defending your shithole country.
Our self defence laws do not allow you to carry armaments of any type. If you stab your attacker with an illegal knife that you carry around with you for that purpose you're going to prison, however if you were to happen across that same knife in the struggle and stab him with it you're fine, legally.
They're fucked.
You're still mad about that?
You know we have pretty similar laws here?
If you're going to attack us, get it right. Otherwise you just look like an idiot.
>Leafposting this hard
Read what I said before replying, dickhead.
Is the UK the only one that has this problem? It's never been a problem in either the US/CA
ah, thank you for your contribution to this thread. you raised a very coherent and valid point.
What kind of licence do you need to own one of these dangerous assault knives?
Your country is a fucking nightmarish shithole police state. Thank God my family left 200 years ago.
None.
but... but... but...
the queen is a true homie to this country nigga
she loves us, we love her.
the old dude didn't get the Diversity Memo
Literally have to spread my marmalade with a christmas card i had from my nan. Thanks nan. Things are awfully hard and i appreciate the little help i get. I'm trying to collect the items needed for an electronic tin opener. Anyone have a spare rungel shaft and transistor? I'd be awfully grateful of any assistance.
>The teenager was caught on CCTV, and in footage shot by other revellers, wielding a knife, rushing at student and then plunging the knife into Mr Andre’s abdomen.
As he tried to flee - still holding the bloodied knife - a RUSSIAN man bravely tried to trip him.
looks like the cops are going for the guy that was stabbed and oblivious to the guy with the blade
Also how does it feel knowing that you will never be able to own any land in your country. You fags will be stuck in your little apartments for life, being city slaves, slowly losing your rights and privileges. You're getting fucked in the ass by your own government and you defend it.
Break the cycle of kuckoldry and leave your shithole nation. You can buy acreage in Canada for dirt cheap and live an unkucked, decent life.
Holy fuckin shiet mang
I'm pretty sure the home office issued guidance on spreading and what implements you can use. as for tin cans; only tabbed cans that don't require a level 5 sharp item licence to open will be available from July this year.
You can buy land here, and it's far cheaper in the countryside. Typically £20,000-30,000 per hectare for farmland.
