See, it's the quiet people you've gotta watch out for. The type that doesn't take much, "keeps to himself". Yeah those are the guys that somehow like a cliche ends up being the killers.

In the UK, they've banned metal bats and replica swords now because of a bank robbery, which was successful. You can get the really pricey thousand dollar collector swords, but you can not get any of those less than 100 dollar swords now.

They've got "assault knife" ban too. Next thing, they'll be banning steel chairs, or glass beer bottles, because we seem them use all the time.

They're trying to ban glass beer mugs too

Yeah, common sense. Taking away objects that were used in dangerous situation doesn't mean people can't get creative. I bet it'll get to a point where England people will start making shanks like they do in prison because all forms of knives will be banned, or start busting out ancient weapons again because they are less regulated than guns. People will start carrying mace, and I don't mean the sprays.
