Knife Control?

This was something we 2nd Amendmenters would joke about, but it looks like it's on the radar screen in Britain.

From the article, "The manufacture, sale and importation of 17 bladed, pointed and other offensive weapons have been banned, in addition to flick knives and gravity knives."

I want a 17 bladed (or pointed) offensive weapon...

The Nanny State: "Stamping out the last vestiges of natural selection."

I mean, if there's really a pandemic of British who get drunk in their kitchen and start stabbing each other, maybe just lock them all in a room with lots of gin and pointy pointy knives.

The British are funny: "gravity knives." We will have none of these gravity knives. Only knives which defy the laws of physics shall be allowed in Great Britian. Bring on the anti-gravity knives. Bring on the faster than light knives. Bring on the known position _and_ momentum knives. Wait, you F=ma knives, get thee back from whence you came!

Maybe this includes all knives that are not traveling at the speed of light, since they have zero length at the speed of light!
