British Doctors Call for Ban on Long Kitchen Knives to End Stabbings

The long knives I guess are likely to appeal more to the hoodlums, but I
seem to remember that a two inch blade is long enough to reach the heart.
What needs to become a criminal offence is the carrying of knives of all
types in the street except in closely defined circumstances and even then
in suitably secure locked containers. And with years of prison for any
hoodlum that nevertheless carries a bare knife.




Don't you think that tire irons and tree limbs should also be controlled?
