 Young people who carry knives will be made to visit hospitals where stabbing victims are treated, in a bid to shock them into changing their behaviour. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said seeing "gruesome" injuries would be a tougher deterrent than sending all knife carriers in England and Wales to jail.A spate of stabbings was making people "nervous" about going out, she said. The Tories said more knife carriers should go to prison and the Lib Dems called Ms Smith's plans "half-baked"... |

| #5 Now see...here in America we have a saying that provides the perfect answer of how to deal with people carrying knives. Most of you will recognize it instantly. "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight." When I was taking kung fu and akido, alot of the younger students in class were talking about how martial arts was king. Typical stuff by younger men who watch too many movies. They expressed skepticism at my comment that I prefered my .45. The sensei piped in with "Given the choice, I'll take a .45 over open hand any day myself." Needless to say that arguement died a quick death. |

| #1 This will continue through each type of weapon until they finally get to the stick. Then they will need to ban sticks and all sources of sticks and so you will see Britain deforested ... and then they will begin to throw rocks. |
