As helpless victims in the U.K. scream for the restoration of their right to self defense, the gun grabbers are aiming at broadening the ban to include assault knives.
NEW laws banning high street shops from selling assault knives, machetes and other weapons could be introduced by the end of next year. [...]The age at which young people can buy household knives and axes may also rise from 16 to 18...
Over the past four years the number of incidents involving knives has risen by 350%, and in Glasgow alone 7500 people were victims of knife crime last year.
They'll pry my scythe blades from my grass-stained hands.
I keep acre of lawn mowed with a scythe, just for entertainment : to get out of the house, go cut another twelve-foot-wide swath down the lawn. Every few days, you've completed the lawn, and you can restart.
Manual reel mower pushers are wimps! Get a scythe scythesupply (no connection except as customer) with the cold-worked blade, not the American high-carbon stamped blade that turns up in occasional hardware stores.
Anyway my longest blade (of six; a blade for every lawn condition) is a razor-sharp three feet long.
Not for nothing does death carry a scythe. I'm not sure how it can be made a weapon, but it looks cool.

Reckon I'm gonna hafta kill ya with it, uh huh.

Posted by: Garrett at November 9, 2004 3:21 PMIf successful in banning knives, they'll still have a problem with the young gangs that can be updwards of 20 strong. So next, they'll have to pass a law that no more than 3 persons can assemble at a time.
