British Police Order Citizens: “Surrender Your Knives!”

"The program involved several weeks of 'amnesty' for 'pointed knives.' Civilians can turn in these apparently dangerous weapons at their local police station in exchange for 'amnesty,' apparently, even though knives (rounded or pointed) aren’t illegal in the United Kingdom.....Incidentally, the knife violence rate in the United Kingdom is about double the rate of gun violence in the United States." Sigh....Just in case you thought the "they'll want knife control next" was alarmist rhetoric.
