Scottish knife homicides up 38%

Story here. They apparently had a "knife amnesty" program last year, by the way.

An interesting story below, about a fellow who stabbed someone to death the afternoon of the day he was released from prison. This time he got a whole 15 years. "After he was sentenced, Reilly taunted his victim's family from the dock with the words: "Fifteen years ... no bother.""

Why the UK needs knife control.

MAN 'CUT OFF HIS OWN PENIS IN RESTAURANT'
April 23, 2007
http://www.drudgereport.com/flash1.htm

A man chopped off his penis with a knife in front of horrified diners at a busy restaurant.

Police were called to Zizzi, in The Strand, London, at 9pm on Sunday after reports of a man in possession of a knife.

Sales rep Stuart McMahon, who was eating at the restaurant with his girlfriend, told the SUN: "This guy came running in then charged into
the kitchen, got a massive knife and started waving it about.

"Everyone was screaming and running out as he jumped on a table, dropped his trousers and popped his penis out.

"Then he cut it off. I couldn't believe it."

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said a man aged between 30-40 was the only person injured and that his injuries were self-inflicted.

She said he was taken to a south London hospital where his condition was today described as stable.

No country needs gun or knife control.
Get rid of idiots. The guy who cut his own penis off assured everyone that he wouldn't reproduce.
I see no harm there.
There's a surplus population, which leads to these problems. Mother Nature uses violent crimes to balance out this problem. London's streets are not safe anymore. Know why? Gun/knife laws. It tells would-be robbers or rapists to go ahead and rob people because the crooks will not die for violating someone.
Arm everyone. Many will die at first and very few later. I would hate for one of the innocent victims to be me,my family of friends but if it is a must for the greater good and freedom, I am all for it.
