WALSH: 7 Deadly Objects London Must Ban Next If It Wants To Survive

London is dealing with a wave of violence — its murder rate now topping New York City’s — in spite of the fact that guns are banned in the city. Fortunately, London’s mayor is on the case, instituting strict new knife control policies. As Mayor Sadiq Khan put it: “there is never a reason to carry a knife.”

There are some in the pro-stabbing crowd who claim that a person may have literally dozens of non-murderous reasons to carry a knife. They may even argue that knives are a basic human tool, and have been for thousands of years, and probably every adult in the world uses knives on a regular basis. But this is the kind of propaganda you’d expect to hear from knife-wielding lunatics.
