Knife Registry on the way?

[Sig_Des]

Dumbest Idea ever

 

[winchable]

They're banning pointy knives or knives all together?
Seems to me that things will continue to be cut if the knives are blunted at the end and sharp on the cutting edge, so your pickles will continue to come sliced.
Makes an interesting point regarding the actual need for the pointy end of the knife, can't remember the last time I really needed a really sharp pointed end to show a piece of steak what I thought of it.
It really is blaming the object though isn't it, and it's not as though a knife can accidentaly go off and stab someone, it takes a hell of a lot more will to stab someone than shoot them I would wager.

Oh this will work too, we still drive on the left, I'm sure they'll jump at the idea of getting rid of those nasty pointed knives.
As has been said, thankyou special interest group #900445 for your input, we'll get back to you after we address the concerns of the monster raving loonies and the homophobic gay welshman society.

i think being stabbed to death with a spoon would be a far more painful way to go.
the uk should ban these nasty implements of horror as well.
;D

lol. I can just imagine

"What's that scar from" ..."Bar fight...the f****er pulled a spoon on me"

It really is blaming the object though isn't it,

yes. It's called animism, and traditionally, it's only been found in the most ignorant and primitive of societies. And, now Liberals. (Makes one wonder, doen't it?)

and it's not as though a knife can accidentaly go off and stab someone,

nor can a firearm. A firearm cannot go off without some form of human interaction. It can (and many have) lay perfectly safe for decades or centuries. It's an insensate, inanimate piece of metal. And I resent ANYONE attempting to tell me (a 34 year old man, who's been to a couple circuses, a country fair, and a few rodeos, and once even to the Big City) what I can and cannot have in my own home, and what I am allowed to do with it. If I harm no one, what I do, what I own, and what I think, are NOBODY else's damn business.

    Don't worry.  If the program was instituted in Canada, it would cost $500 Million in set up costs, register twenty knives, two forks, and a plastic spoon.  It would channel $100 Million back into the Liberal party, $200 Million to Liberal supporters, $50 Million to the first three patronage appointees that are in chanrge long just long enough to resign, and then collapse when the provinces fail to come up with matching financial contributions to keep the registry going.  It may not be a great system, but its Canadian

So Im going to go out on a limb here and asume that my Katana is totally unwelcome in the UK.

 

[winchable]

Well I brought my scibitar over and mi5 hasn't shown up at my door yet.

nor can a firearm. A firearm cannot go off without some form of human interaction

Also just read this (I know it's a bit late..blame it on the time difference?) and wanted to add that I agree with you, I wasn't implying that a rifle could, in fact I was trying to imply quite the opposite without actually saying it....though in reading it again it seems to convey the opposite.

Banning knives is just the beginning, lads.  Soon they will be after the whole KFS!  It's a New Age UN/Globalist/Maurice Strong/Robert Fowler Plot!  Wendy Cukier is being briefed up on this as we speak!  KFS is evil!  It represents 6000 years of the evolution of Western Civilization!  Get rid of the KFS, and the West will fall!

Even faster.

;D

The West won't fall, but we will all have greasy fingers and handshakes.

"Some commented that a point is useful in the fine preparation of some meat and vegetables, but that this could be done with a short pointed knife (less than five centimeters (two inches) in length)," they wrote.



But my Steaks are much more than 2" thick...does that mean I get a special permit?

Never see this happening....How well is the Firearm registry going?  Last I heard Ottawa was hacked 3 times and gained access to who has what and where.  Give me enough time and I'll figure out how to make a knife out of a piece of lasagna.  Besides it's only 3 whinny Doctors complaining about having to work.  Lets see ban all vehicles, smoking, drinking, marriage, construction and anything else you might need the services of these poffties.  I'm a Paramedic and Blood is a whole lot cooler than all the other stuff that comes out of the Human body.
More Knives, More Guns....bring it on!!! :threat:
Just ranting after a bad call. :mg:

I've done a lot of restaurant work over the years, I've cut just about
everything there is to cut.

You really dont need a foot long pointed knife for anything.

You DO need foot long knives, for example think of a 30lbs sides of
prime rib or a but of sirloin, and those butcher knives dont really need
to have the point at the end even though all of them do, but all you
really need is a really sharp blade.

As far as vegetables go, mostly you'll also just need a sharp blade.
After giving this some thought I can't think of any reason to use the
point of a knife other than fixing up some garneshes ...and for those
I tend to use my 3 inch perring knife which is much easier to control
for the fine operations on small delicate vegetables.

Maybe redesigning knives over 5 inches so they all have dull points is a good
idea after all.  ;D

EDIT: but then again, a 4 inch pointed knife is a deadly weapon any way you
look at in, infact if I was going to kill someone I'd probably grab the four
incher just because I know it would be eaiser to conceal and its certainly
long enough to puncture lungs or livers or whatever I feel like putting holes into.

Also, a 4 inch blade would be a lot easier to make a controled jab with that is
strong enough to do some searious damage. Ever tried to stab a side of beef
with a 16 inch butch knife? Really sloppy. Try it with a 4 inch shiv, its a hell of
a lot easier to control and apply the force with.

Also, as a poster already mentioned, lets out-law contruction, marriage, cars, boats
and just about everything. The car is the deadliest domesic weapon of all.

It could be argued that a WIFE with a very long "Honey Do List" is the most deadliest domestic weapon of all. ;D

Yeah.... and we register those, too.....

 

[TCBF]

"Yeah.... and we register those, too....."

- But at least you don't have to re-new the license every five years.

;D

Not if your lucky.

What about baseball bats, frying pans, ladders (you could fall man!), brollies, picket fences, etc? What a load of shi-ite! BTW, this all reminds me of something I heard regarding a student not being allowed to bring nail clippers to school: "I could beat you to death with a chair. Shall we all stand?"

Oh! Thats just too good! I have to tell the little Mrs about that one!  ;D ;D ;D

Bumped based on the recent stabbings in Calgary and elsewhere - this from the CBC:

Following the stabbings in Calgary and Regina, some people on social media have raised the debate over knife legislation and the banning of certain types of knives.

However, Eugene Schreiner has been making knives in Saskatoon for the past 65 years and he said a knife ban would be difficult to enforce.

"You can ban whatever you want, I mean, drugs are banned, everything is banned, but who can enforce it?" he said. "You know, are they going to take your kitchen knives away on you?"

University of Saskatchewan law professor Glen Luther agrees with Schreiner that banning knives is hard to do.

"You have to realize, the criminal code definition of a weapon is a difficult thing to define," he said. "What is a weapon, what isn't a weapon, and in the case of knives, of course, we have all kinds of legal uses for them. All of us use a knife every day to butter our bread, or whatever, let alone hunting and fishing and butchers and chefs."

There are a couple of different kinds of knives currently prohibited under the Criminal Code. Those include spring-activated blades and brass-knuckle blades.

Across the country, the number of stabbing deaths has stayed fairly stable in the recent past. However, knives are still seen as the most common weapon used in crimes ....

I guess I'd better register the kitchen knives... :
