Heh there's something a bit nutty when people of all ages can get hard drugs, sharp weapons, and infinite amounts of 'cookbooks' with a few clicks..

I owned a hatchet when I was a child, and shockingly enough possessing something that could potentially be used as a weapon actually didn't warp my psyche and fill me with bloodlust.

Oh the horror!!!I owned a hatchet when I was a child, and shockingly enough possessing something that could potentially be used as a weapon actually didn't warp my psyche and fill me with bloodlust.
I had a machete when I was in middle school. The worse thing I ever did with that was go chop down a few saplings in the forest. Oh, and I went on a murdering rampage at school one day, but that is a whole other story.

That was obviously the fault of videos games and rock music! Playin' DooM, listening to Marilyn Manson, sippin' tea....
I wonder what the target of outrage and blame would be if someone when on a killing spree by bludgeoning people to death with a waffle iron.
Anyway, regarding the OP article. I wonder if the UK will try to pressure foreign online merchants to cease selling knifes and such. A few years back France tried to get Yahoo to ban Nazi paraphernalia from it's online stores just because it was illegal in their country. So in other words they thought a merchant based in the U.S. shouldn't be able to sell WW2 memorbilia, regardless of their right to free speech, just because a frenchie could possibly get to it.

Knife crime is scarey in England. I saw a report here about knife crime showing CCTV of a guy walking up to some innocent guy he didn't know and knifing him about 6 times in the neck, eventually killing him. It sends shockwaves down my spine to see such disregard for human life.
They can't stop weapons sales, if kids can't buy butterfly knives and the such, there is always kitchen utensils which are equally effective.
Personally i own about 11 knives/swords, all of which are sharp enough to injure. I don't ever remember not owning weapons.

Can't brain. Has dumb.
One of the latest zombie-killing games where you can pick up and use any object as a weapon, I suppose.
it's always the video games..

That's sooo stupid. Almost anything can be used as a weapon maybe they should watch 'Slingblade' then they will ban lawn mowers too. Idiots.

Video games, obviously. And bowling alleys. And atheists.

You know what they say about a fellow with a large sword? Don't say anything that might annoy him.
