what about people who aren’t criminals buying and selling ?
I thought “zombie knives” (which is a meaningless press invented phrase designed to stoke fear) were already illegal anyway? And its not exactly easy to buy a machete legally either.
“could face longer jail sentences” = “we want to look tough , but won’t help the police with funding”
Shinzon of Remus and Buffy the Vampire Slayer are gonna be pissed
BBC mentioning like ones in horror movies….now I’ve seen a shit tonne of horror movies,and if anyone is using any form of weapon it’s either axe,kitchen knife or plank with nails in it…I don’t remember seeing a single ‘Zombie’ knife
If you ever want a laugh look at the list of offensive weapons specifically banned in the UK, you’d people on the streets were living in fear of being attacked by 80s movie ninjas. Curved swords for example are specifically banned, which implies that a straight bladed sword is inherently less dangerous.
Oh yeah because we have so many police officers to enforce this. And so many judges to quickly process them and get them off the streets. And so many prison cells to house them and make sure they serve the correct amount of time.
Maybe start with how easy it is to obtain a fully sharpened large blade online.
“The new proposals would mean those importing, manufacturing, selling or supplying prohibited offensive weapons, and selling blades to children, would face a maximum penalty of two years in prison.”
That maximum penalty needs multiplying by 10 for a start.
Not all of them need locking up for 20 years, but most of them should get more than 2..
I saw a good kitchen knife in TK Maxx as most of ours are blunt, I was wearing my joggers and hoody, I felt like a criminal. The cashier was giving me the are you a pyscho look…then asked do I want to pay for a bag for it which I said I’ll just carry it in my pocket…even walking past security on the way out…never again ill order a set online.
