| Lol, England is a meme
"Oi lad, nice sammich ye got ther, butter knife license pleese"
| GET A LIFE, BIN THAT KNIFE
who still lives in UK by choice?
| But no acid bans? I mean I'd rather get stabbed and die, than having a melty face because of acid attacks.
| it's the same in Japan, I don't get why you are all surprised
| oi m8 do you have a loicense for that opinion?
| Is it a ban on purchasing or just carrying?
| Do supermarkets need license to sell weapons to keep selling kitchen knives?
| England is starting to freak me out.

Yeah let's lock everyone up in individual rooms with bars on the windows. For safety reasons.
| There are lots of reasons to carry a knife. Here where I live it's only illegal to carry one above a certain lenght, I think this system is pretty ok.
| Truck is on the list next!
| Just carry a knife sized sword.
| >Moslem gets elected in Western society
>Implements 'social' programs to aid and abet terrorists
>Demonizes nationals and other Western societies
>Disarms the nationals
>Seems legit
10/10 would be 'tolerant' and PC again
| As a east end degenerate, it's been worse. Only doing this cause of the recent surge to save face.

This isnt reddit dude go back to your hugbox with your assumptions of radical leftwing consensus where you belong.
| I swear /new/ could be renamed /pol/ and there would be no difference.
| What a freaking stupid joke, they will just keeping changing weapons to the point that hands will be banned because you can beat someone to death with them. When we will grow up and realise the problem doesn't lie within the tool but with the reason and person doing it?
| Guess it's impossible to express opinions without radical wing nuts shouting.
| Butcher's will never cut meat again

Anonymous commenting allows for discourse without incentivizing virtue signalling. True feelings come out because one doesn't need to "keep up appearances". If you want boring PC talk with le epic upboats go to reddit, these are the wrong communities for you.
| I said /new/ could be replaced by /pol/ and there would be no difference, because you act like you're on 4chan's /pol/, When did I state my point of view on the argument? I didn't, for me to know you act like you're on /pol/ I had to have been there before, the point is, if you're that hard on the defensive, then maybe you already picked up the hint that you're on the wrong board.
I'm starting to feel like you're only here to stir shit up and not actually talk.
| >>239908
You just desperately want others to act like this place is /pol/. Maybe you should just go to /pol/ yourself if you expect this place to be an echo chamber.
| >>241030
Same to you friend. You just seem upset that we have the "wrong" politics. Might I suggest reddit?
| First chance I get im out of this autistic country
| I mean, on these anon boards what would you expect except people with conspiracy bullshit? Can't ban an account for saying inane shit because there are no accounts. Not justifying it but paranoid racists who, for whatever reason, tend spell "Muslim" like "Moslem" are inevitable.
| Islam is not a race
| Its not really a big deal but it is pretty stupid
| Sliced bread sellers be like:
>*rubbity-rub*
| Oi mate where ya going with dat butter knife?
| >>244857 I'm sure the license is in the same folder when I torrented it. Hold on officers, I will check it now.
| I got the feeling that some of you don't understand that this is not about butterknives but about "combat knives". In my country it's not allowed to carry such things openly arround and you only can buy it at a minimum age. Tbh. I don't mind knive bans. Compared to guns the self defence and revolution argument is much more ridiculous.
| Hay look at it this way now you've got an excuse to learn fist fighting
| >>247481 The mockery here is to show how inneficient and useless this ban is, some folks will just change their weapons, trucks, bombs, axes, I've read about many mass attacks and let me tell you the tool does not matter, take one folks will use other. In my country I've seen a case in my country with a guy using fire, burning himself and everyone around him. And before you go all "america" on me, the swiss and the czechs have light weapon laws and they are ok.
| And the uk is so pc that they will never allow an open and honest conversation about violence causes there, because topics like islam will arrive and someone will shriek "islamophobia" or something, so they can fuck off themselfs. Self defense and personal freedoms are important, if the gov can't defend they citizens cuz they are useless, they should at least give them a chance for they to defend themselfs.
| >>247481 ah ok, that makes more sense. but it still sounds like a flimsy policy. you could easily use kitchen knives, axes, homemade chemicals, etc - and what kind of government would ban kitchen knives?
i'm all for strict weapon control. but knife attacks are significantly easier to prevent. setting an outright ban instead of regulations just feels cheap on the government's part.
| >Stab someone with a pencil
>Watch as they ban pencils, as there is no reason any reasonable man would always have a pencil on his person
>????
>$Profit$
| >>247678 the reason those countries are ok with light laws is because they aren't surrounded by macho gun culture
| >>248988 Do you know all of 'em? And I know that you are talking about the US and not all the US is Texas. And what about the mass attacks with no guns in Europe loke the truck attacks? And what about the country with high attacks and tough gun laws? Sorry you can't sum up everything with "toxic masculinity" bollocks, it's an entire country, with many lines of thoughts about it. And if you want to go that way, you have to admit that other things than "macho culture" can do it too
| Like the so called religion of peace wich made tons of terrorist attacks.
| >compares pencils to combat knives
>"I'm logical"
| >>249028 same poster, different ID. where the fuck did you get 'toxic masculinity' from that my guy? the gun culture in countries like switzerland, czech, etc are obviously different than US gun culture. why else is america having mass shootings literally every other week?
a nutjob with a truck or a knife is going to kill significantly fewer people than a nutjob with a gun. countries with strict laws have more publicized, less fatal attacks. america has shootings every damn week.
| >>249154 adding on to this, that dude in michigan who shot a teen trying to ask for directions already had a violent misdemeanor on his record. why the fuck was he allowed a gun? this isn't a texas thing, lol.
| >>249154 The way you talked about "macho culture" sounded that way. Not necessarly, the truck attacks, killed more than the lady in the youtube shooting, so is really relative, and then again,focus on the tool instead of the reason is pointless, and semantics, violence will still go on. There is an abyss between strict gun laws and don't sell guns to violent criminals/Folks with mental illness, one is overreaching and pointless the other is good sense.

| London Mayor Unveils New Stop-And-Frisk Police Policy To Enforce City-Wide Knife Ban
Let me be clear - there is no reason to carry a knife. To anyone who does - they will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law. 35 people have been charged for murder offences occurring during 2018 so far.
