In the face of rising knife violence rates in the UK, supermarket chain Asda will no longer be selling individual kitchen knives. This comes on the heels of the company´s decision in 2016 to securely package all knives after a customer was stabbed inside a Poundland, another British grocery chain. For their part, Poundland stopped selling knives altogether last year. The grocery chains aren´t entirely incorrect — England does have a growing knife violence problem. However, regulating knives won´t stop the violence. And, boy, does England have a growing knife violence problem. Over the first three months of 2019, England,

Yeah thattl work. No point in stopping importing the troglodytes who do most of the stabbing, since they wont be able to buy knives anymore.
Meanwhile the same mentality is trying to mess with our guns.

GB certainly got Merkel´s mandated diversity alright - diversity in rabid 14th century barbarians with their guns, knives, machetes, etc. How´s did that kow-towing to Merkel work out for you GB?

With a reasonably civil population, one does not need ´Gun Control´ and ´Knife Control´.
What we here in the US need in our urban centers, and what GB needs in theirs, is THUG Control.

Here, in Utah, Middle eastern markets carry an entire shelf filled with huge, long, sharp "Asura" knives good for slaughtering sheep or cutting one´s own back down to the waist from an over-the-shoulder swing, or, beheading humans.
ISIS used shorter knives!

Instead, why not “pull” all the Muslims out of Britain?

And soon around dinner tables all across Britain while eating with their hands they´ll be discussing the need to eliminate glass and duct tape to address murders and slashings that mysteriously didn´t stop after the last knife was confiscated.

You have to admit, that´s better than decriminalizing knife violence.

This just proves that you can´t bring a gun to a knife fight if you can´t get a gun.
But now--where do you get a knife?

In case nobody knew it Asda is an offshoot of walmart in UK.
Poundland is equal to dollar store.
So, I can´t buy a knife in Pound Land , I´ll go across the street to Sainsbury´s (another chain) and buy my kitchen knife. Then go back to Pound Land and slash up everybody because I couldn´t buy a knife there.
I was triggered buy the rule.

And when they start beating each other up with fists or rocks or wooden clubs, are they going to confiscate all the rocks and trees and cut off people´s hands?
Liberalism - reductio ad absurdum.
What´s sad and funny is that they take themselves so seriously. They are so impressed with their superior intellect and morality when they possess neither brains or morals.

#3, IME, the less civil the society, the greater the need for armed citizens.
"Gun control" laws universally make it harder or illegal for law abiding citizens to be armed, yet shockingly, criminals do not obey these laws. So, gun control makes it safer for the always armed criminals.
Gun control or knife control is never helpful.
Have you been reading about all the carnage in Kansas since we permitted any adult who can legally own a gun to carry it concealed without any paperwork? And any knife, without any restrictions, can also be legally carried. If you have an urge to wear a 12" Bowie on your belt, come to Kansas.
No carnage.
This supermarket policy change will have no effect on anything except some housewife who needs a new carving knife and has to go elsewhere.
