Typical for England.....first the guns, next your knives,........what's next....scissors, garden tools,saws, and hammers!!! They want to have a completely submissive society, I guess. If this were the case in 1939, they would be speaking German now!


Knife amnesty nets 17,700 weapons


Knife amnesty nets 17,700 weapons

Over 17,700 weapons were handed in during the first week of the national knives amnesty, the Home Office said.

Machetes, meat cleavers and axes as well as knives were among the haul of 17,715 surrendered to the 43 police forces across England and Wales.

Home office minister Vernon Coaker said the results were "encouraging".

The five-week amnesty, running until 30 June, allows people to surrender knives at police stations without fear of punishment.

Mr Coaker urged those who had not yet handed in their weapons to do so.

"The initial figures for the first week of that campaign are very encouraging, " he said.

"That is 17,715 fewer weapons that can be used in a crime against ordinary, law-abiding citizens.

"If you carry a knife out of self-defence, you run the risk of having it turned on you. Carrying a knife is illegal and will not be tolerated. It could land you four years in prison"

They won't get my Smiths, Rugar, or Winchester, much less my
Bowie, Bucks and Gerber. Are these people nuts? Must be.

I guess they'll all be wearing straight-jackets
when their fingernails get too long. When guns
are outlawed only governments will have guns. cool.gif

England is on a downward slide to handing their country over to the lawless. Law enforcement will not be able to protect them, and they will be prosecuted for protecting themselves. Sad end for a once great country.
