A couple of things:

1) how would they be safer in Somalia of all places? We’re talking about the same place that has terrorist organizations, war lords, and pirates.

2) Will we see common sense knife control?

They’re right by a trash can, might as well throw that sign where it belongs

Pretty sure they passed "common sense knife controls" or some bullshite like that. Liberals never stop trying to control.

This is clever and all, but..

Homicide rates per 100,000:
United Kingdom: 1.20
United States: 5.35
Baton Rouge: 20.60

But you gotta capture the revolutions they have every 50-100 years from shitty government policies.

I'm going to reserve judgement until I hear what AOC has to say about this.

Perfectly valid, IMO, and that’s how I feel as well.

At the same time though it’s hard for me to go “gotcha!” toward the U.K. when the per capita murder rate is 20x higher in Baton Rouge.

If we are being honest, weapons, regardless of type whether they be knife or gun, have no bearing on murder rates. Wyoming has more guns per capita and less murders per capita than anywhere in the US. They’re are neighborhoods in the UK with extremely high murder rates while most the country is low.

so, they put big chains loosely on the lid with giant padlocks. On a trash can. With wheels.


This is definitely not real life.

Knife crime in the UK is real and has hit an alarming rate. They are trying to do knife control and it is not working at all.

That was for an event like they have gun turn ins here in the states, your average knife bin is not easily moved:

Yep. Politicians who confiscate them do.. eventually. What a pussy arse society. How would you ever let any weapon confiscation occur.



They are turning in their fricking knives. Liberals are the scourge of the earth.
