Knifes are the weapon now

In England, I think I'd rather be shot.

Just like one of the first Great American terrorist attacks was accomplished by fertilizer and diesel fuel.

Yep, killers will find a way to kill, how many are strangled every year here? Gun deaths are even smaller than strangulation, yet guns should be banned?

Yeah it's kind of interesting when you distill the liberal agenda down to its base it seems to be must have abortion must have gun control and must have unlimited immigration. That just seems to be where they are now and so we'll see how it goes maybe they'll get more than they did last time to vote.

You got that right, and it is sad. 21 trillion in debt and infrastructure falling apart, kids getting their jolly's eating tide pods and snorting condoms up their noses for youtube likes, and all the idiots in the Dem party care about is being able to kill unborn babies, take the 2nd amendment rights away from responsible owners and have no border control at all.

That is the scary part, we have idiots in DC because ignorant fools are voting them in.

Knives and screwdrivers being used to hold homeowners in check while they rob them and then have the homeowner arrested for killing the intruder in his own home while being robbed is disgraceful at the very least.

I've had knives since about the 4th grade and carrying one or two since the 6th grade. Indispensable tools.
At the end of the article was a list of stabbings and shootings in London for the year. It was glaringly obvious that the vast majority of names were foreign sounding. I guess a Nation should be careful who they lit into their country.

The libs are probably working on some kind of a knives ban. Maybe on certain kind of handle or something of the kind.

I collect knifes, I've got a hundred of them, some made out of polymers and some made out or rock some made out of...damn it...the stronger then steel stuff, none of which can be picked up by a metal detector. They need to worry about the 400 million guns in this country before they worry about knifes. Somebody above said that banning guns will make criminals out of innocent people and got rebuked for it, I can't see it happening any other way either.

An epidemic of stabbings and acid attacks in London has gotten so bad that London mayor Sadiq Khan is announcing broad new "knife control" policies designed to keep these weapons of war out of the hands of Londoners looking to cause others harm.

The "tough, immediate" measures involve an incredible police crackdown, a ban on home deliveries of knives and acid, and expanding law enforcement stop-and-search powers so that police may stop anyone they believe to be a threat, or planning a knife or acid attack.

Khan announced Friday that the city has created a "violent crime taskforce of 120 officers" tasked with rooting out knife-wielding individuals in public spaces, and is pumping nearly $50 million dollars into the Metropolitan Police department, so that they can better arm themselves against knife attacks. He's also empowering the Met Police to introduce "targeted patrols with extra stop and search powers for areas worst-affected," according to a statement.

The mayor took to Twitter to announce his new policies.

No excuses: there is never a reason to carry a knife. Anyone who does will be caught, and they will feel the full force of the law. https://t.co/XILUvIFLOW

Strangely enough, Khan is responsible to decreasing the number of stop-and-searches, having previously declared the tactic racist and potentially Islamophobic. It's also not clear what local Londoners will now use to cut their food.

Parliament is also set to take up heavy "knife control" legislation when it resumes this week. The UK government is expected to introduce a ban on online knife sales and home knife deliveries, declare it "illegal to possess zombie knives and knuckledusters in private" -- "zombie knives" are those defined as being manufactured for the purpose of being used as a person-to-person weapon -- and ban sales of caustic materials to anyone under the age of 18, the Independent reports.

London has seen a dramatic uptick in murder rates, surpassing even New York City in number of homicides every month since the beginning of 2018. It has some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, and, technically, knives carried "without good reason" are off limits to anyone under the age of 18.

Why don't they just go ahead and pass a law that requires all people to lay down and give up if attacked. Self defense will not be tolerated!!! Be aware that screaming will also not be tolerated do to newly enacted noise ordinances.
And people wonder how the terrorists have got so embedded into our society's.
