Reply #5: Damn knife nuts.

From the article...


"The rampage has fuelled calls for a clampdown on Britain's worsening knife culture. A man was tonight being held by police in connection with the attacks".

"Families of stabbing victims joined the Victims of Crime Trust (VOCT) last week to launch the Knives Destroy Lives campaign. The group, which includes the parents of murdered schoolboy Luke Walmsley, are calling on the Government to introduce a five-year minimum jail term for carrying a blade longer than three inches.

They also want to see a six-month minimum jail term for carrying shorter blades, or three months for juveniles".

I can understand the concern and desire to find solutions to the problem, but to me this is the bass-ackwards way of going about it.

How about harsher penalties for using a knife during the comission of a crime?
