We need KNIFE CONTROL - NOW!

I'm not sure what the answer is but if people were allowed to carry fire arms I would leave the UK straight away, and encourage my relatives and friends to. I say this because I reckon weapons will definately get into the hands of the wrong people, even decent people have their price and will be bribed. I live south of London where it is quite a big problem. I think it's fairly well agreed that a lot of the crime is down to black on black gang attacks. I know this may sound like a racist comment, but I speak to black friends about it and they agree. And that is why Tony Blair mostly got away with saying it is caused by Black culture. I think he was right, it is a black cultural thing, in London at least. But it is not limited to black people, whites and asians have jumped on board too. So I think we need to target the culture that glorify violence and weapons to young men. I don't know how we do this but I know that things such as rap music can't be helping. On the other hand the problem may be that the white majority are not allowing these people to integrate with us properly or offereing them the same opportunities, so maybe we need to look at our schools and society as a whole for an answer to the problems.

Yes, sure. Soon it will be car control - seeing cars cause deaths, food control - seeing we have too many overweight people, house control - seeing we have too many house fires, etc. Oh, I beg your pardon; That is exactly what they have been doing! Total ocntrol of humans and society! Please see: Government Report - http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/april2007/090407bioweap ons.htm

The last thing we need is more control like this. What we need is good people. Also, it would help to remove negative motivation if it were easier to get better jobs. A lot of crime if motivated by the need to survive and if it is very hard to get a job to meet these needs people are driven to consider crime as a way to get by. The only time I have felt like considering weapons is when I can't get an employer to seriously consider me for employment just because I don't have that college diploma. IMO that diploma doesn't actually mean that much. I know a lot of rather dumb people who have a diploma yet they can't even budget themselves enough to get by. My girl and I are scratching to make it but we are doing it on 1/2 or less then some of the people we know because they have no concept of self control when it comes to spending.

This is just horrible I cant believe criminals would resort to using a knife in this manner. Why we should take every knife and sharp object like scissors out of everyones home. We can replace the steak knife with plastic wares, scissors with the rounded edges and put kiddy proof types only on the market. While we are at it we better get rid of butter knifes someone might sharpen them up. Hedge clippers, axes, shovels, chainsaws and any other farming/landscaping tools should be outlawed too!
