And now Merry old England is contemplating some sort of ban on certain knives in response to an increasing murder rate. What next - baseball bats, canes, box cutters?

Recently a young girl with some sort of issue or disorder purposely ran down a bunch of people in a gathering in Oklahoma with her car, killing I believe 3 and severly injuring I don't know how many. She was so intent on it that she backed up and rammed forward into the crowd and obstacles a couple times. Given how crowded our cities are becoming, a car or truck is an ideal weapon to use to mow down a bunch of innocent people at once. So, I guess our cars will be the next subject of discussion for mandatory confiscation.
