Long pointed kitchen knives should be banned (http://www.news-medical.net/?id=10454)

I didn't make this up, but I saw it coming.

Violent crime is on the increase in the UK, say the authors, whose experience of working in emergency departments suggests that kitchen knives are used in as many as half of all stabbings.

Many assaults are committed impulsively and prompted by alcohol and other drugs, and a kitchen knife makes an all too available weapon in such circumstances.

...

Banning the sale of long pointed knives would be a key step in the fight against violent crime.

..idiots, if a guy is attacking you with a kitchen knife, just shoot him.

Before long, in the UK it'll be illegal to get out of bed without putting on a safety helmet.
