Knife curbs ~ gone a wee bit silly

Just seen this, would you believe it. Well I guess that's the way o' the world.

Wonderful UK..........



However, in tribute to Stan, just opened one to salute him

That is beyond the Pale, Ale.

Well ... no one ever said "Politicians and their most ardent followers have more than one consecutive functioning brain cells."
(if someone ever did, they would be lying big time.)
I don't see how that label "promotes knife crime".
If it does, then they should ban tv shows and movies that show a gun and/or knife. (Andy Griffeth Show, Adam 12, pretty much every Segal, Norris, and Stallone movie, and war movies ...)

Seems brainless fools are in the courts, too.

Hopefully, they can appeal and get that ridiculous verdict overturned.

I don’t know a single adult or child that would find anything violent about that label, other than wanting a little higher ABV lol.

Who bans beer ? Sacrilege..Persecute! Burn the Heretics!

Rhetorical question, right, Charlie??

"Wee bit" is an understatement

Unquestionably.

Laugh all you want folks but after I saw that photo of the beer can, I blacked out like I’d had one too many of the beers and woke up to all of my knives marching out of my house in ski masks to commit crimes! This is serious people! This beer can with a cartoon knife on it is a scourge upon society! Plus if you drink too many you may find yourself drunkenly buying criminally bad gas station knives because they look cool. Lol

Sad but not surprising.

 

[mrknife]

let me know when they start returning the stuff in that big museum

[lambertiana]

What next? Banning that british movie franchise that features a lot of knife and firearm use (James Bond)?

Too bad the people who vote for these politicians will never see the light. Here in Kommiefornia people complain about conditions but then keep voting for the same politicians who created those bad conditions.

I don't like this thread. I don't understand its actual relevance to traditional knives. It seems more like political venting. I feel like there is plenty of political venting literally everywhere else on the internet. I like not encountering it here.

Am sorry you feel this way.

There is no intent, on my part, for political venting.

We are all together, in this knifey world, hopefully of one accord. We know we mean no harm, we need to be as one, unspoken as it may be.

I laugh, incredulously as it all is, and have no wish to jump on a soap box and start preaching about how unfair this is, or that is.

We live in a world today where we don’t exactly know where it’s all going…….whether USA ……UK or wherever. What I do wish though, is we can shrug stuff off, carry on, and enjoy what brings us all together.

I appreciate this, and I didn't get the feeling of political venting from the original post itself honestly, but it seemed like what the comments were developing into.

Very nice knife shown !!! It is a shame that sometimes little people have too much power .

Policing the mind.

However, it might have been better to have a real photograph of Stan Shaw on the beer can rather can that rather tasteless cartoon in the style of Tom Anderson in Bevis & Butt-Hed, and one of him with a pocket-knife rather than that dagger like thing....But BB not only watches you, he knows best.

 

[Obsessed with Edges]

In my personal experience, beer and other 'adult beverages' only promoted impulsive online purchases of knives and other stuff. And occasionally self-inflicted cuts from sharpening while 'under the influence', so to speak. But even then, I owned responsibility for my own clumsy and ill-advised behavior. Didn't feel the need to lobby anyone to outlaw it, though.
