    Register knives, then. And outlaw baseball bats, or at least register them all. Then it will become evident to the lawmakers that clubs will be cut from tree limbs, thus necessitating the regulation of wood saws.

    See, this nonsense is never-ending, so long as a chosen few are allowed to "lord it" over the people.

    I've given up on some of humanity. It seems we just have so much violence. Even look at those who state they are for "social justice" SJW's Antifa, other groups, people. In the end, they can turn to violence and utter hate themselves. It just seems so weird.

    Social justice is the antithesis of nonviolence.

    @Tom Galty
    Where are the firearms likely being obtained? If possession and sale is illegal, there must exist a "black market" similar to the U.S. drug market. And, if homicides outside the U.S. are escalating recently, as news reports seem to indicate, why would this be? Is the entire world becoming a mindless miasma of murderous intent?

    Multy answer question.

    You can buy guns in the UK...shot guns.

    If in public they have to be in a carrier/bag.

    When stored at home they have to be kepted in a lockedable cabinet

    There was an spike in guns after WW2 being brought in.

    And after the end of the Yugo war.

    In my young days in the 50s the gangs who carried knives would just cut the faces of the other gang members.

    Now a days they kill them.

    WHY because we don't have the death penalty any more...... for murders by Guns or Knives.

    Sorry my spell checker is not working again.

    Seems the UK is getting a touch of reality here of what we all in the US know well.

    Isn't political correctness good!

    Don.

    According to this news article New York is drawing ahead this month.

    It also shows the great strides New York has made to bring their murder rate down.

    Which London has to look to...

    Louisiana brought their murder rates down....but then their rapes skyrocketed!

    Violence is here to stay in one form or the other.

    There was a shooter at the YouTube offices in California today. Apparently a female shooter, at that.

    Yeah, that investigation is still going on. At one time there was a report of two shooters, but the cops say they presume that the female was the only shooter, and that she committed suicide. Overall, gun violence is dropping in the U.S. over the past 20 years or so, but you wouldn't know that from the headlines you see. FBI statistics show gun deaths down, and, ironically, they are decreasing fastest in the areas that have the most liberal concealed carry regulations.
