#1 Do you all have to eat baby food now? How do you slice your Roast Beef? Or has that been banned by your food Nazis.

Man the Jolly Olde has turned into a nation of pussies and Islamo-fascists. Why don't you remaining rugged folk come on over? Hell probably could fit you all in one 747, with lots of room left over at this rate.

#2 They started a gun buyback up here in Boston. Mayor Menino says turn in your piece for a $200 Target gift card. He says you should do it because it's no questions asked, completely "enormous", so nobody will know who you are...

#3 "If you carry a knife out of self-defence, you run the risk of having it turned on you.

And if you hit back at an attacker, it might enrage him. Better to curl into a defensive ball and wait for the police to help ... if they do ...

Oh, wait -- that's ALREADY the rule in the UK, isn't it? Or at least the "highly encouraged" action to take?

#4 Then again, there are 60 MILLION people in the UK, and it could be assumed that there is at least one long knife for every one of them.

#5 I don't get it. What good does it do to collect knives and meat cleavers when a kitchen knife or any sharp object would have the same effect? Is it a special kind of knife they are collecting?

#6 The low level thugs in the UK carry knives rather than guns. This is just libral, whiney, look good for the newspaper's try and look to be stopping crime blah! blah!

#7 Next it'll be your longbow and quarterstaff. Just make sure the muzzies turn in their head choppers first.
