Cf. this article about UK knife amnisty, and this one about Scotland toping the list of violent countries. Btw, Stanley knives or boxcutters are very common street weapons here in France too IIUC.

#1  Knifes don't kill people. People, supported by an ineffectual nanny state, kill people. If the state is unwilling to protect the people, at least let the people protect themselves. Then again, this is Europe where they don't believe that government exists at the consent of the govern [sorta like the Democrats/Socialists]. That when government fails, its powers revert back to the people.
