Police call for simplified knife law - Yahoo! News UK:
"LONDON (Reuters) - The Police Federation called on Tuesday for a new knives law to replace the confusion over existing legislation that was leading to many offenders avoiding conviction on technicalities.
It said the complexity of dealing with at least six different laws covering knife offences meant officers were making mistakes during arrests which were being exploited by defence lawyers."
They took the guns away so now the British are back to knives. Take them away, and they'll be back to using blunt objects. Nobody seems to acknowledge that a small percentage of every generation will use violence against the rest of us, and if we give up our ability to defend ourselves, then the barbarians win.
No amount of talking, no amount of understanding, & no laws will change these people. If you don't have a policeman handy when they attack, then you have a fundamental right to defend yourself - which technology you choose shouldn't matter to the courts. Body armor, helmets, & running shoes are defensive weapons - offensive weapons start with martial arts, mace, & stun guns, and escalate from sticks (batons) through knives to firearms.
