Stop punishing law abiding citizens for the actions of a few individuals. I very much doubt many kids actually buy knives over the internet. Id like to see them trying to explain to their parents why they a getting a knife through the post. Besides any kid can just walk into their kitchen and get a knife, oh yeah your precious anti stab knives stop that dont they? But then again the kid could just go into his dads shed and use the grinder to make a pointed knife. So are you going to ban grinders and metal files too? How is it so difficult for you nannies to realise that criminals dont obey laws? It just makes things harder for the majority of people who use knives legitimately.

Hey, maybe your football stars can have adverts telling the proletarians that forks are not the answer! Sporks for all! Think of the children.
