Nothing wrong with knives. Very useful tool, the same way that a crowbar is. It's only when they find their way into the hands of scum that it becomes a problem. I think the answer is passing a law that basically says, "if you have any sort of criminal record for violent crime, it's illegal for you to carry anything that could reasonably be construed as a weapon."

it's a lunatic idea that you can 'ban' knives, a knife is a necessarry tool. and frrankly, a knife is just one of about 1000 things that you could use to stab a perrson with.

I have to say though, fucking LOADS of my ex's mates used to have a knife on them when they were out, it does seem to be a bit of an "issue" over here. Nothing ever happened when i was about but it was proper unsettling. That "just in case" mentality is bad news.

The number of robberies carried out using a knife rose by 15,000 to 40,400 in 2005-06; muggings involving a knife increased by 17,730 to 42,000 and violent attacks using a knife on a stranger rose 18,300 to 51,700.

Yeah, somethings gone fucked up somewherre, the knife prroblem is crrazy. It's just that it has little to do with knives themselves. I can see the goverrment coming up with law upon law and otherr expenses upon expenses in an attempt to stop people actually getting theirr hands on knifes. Similarr to the 'warr on drrugs', it just can't worrk. Also, it's not like it isn't illegal to carrrry a knife in yourr sock alrready anyway.

I've never experienced 'the knife problem' in any capacity, it seems like a media frenzy to me

It's against the Swedish law to carry a knife in public places (unless you need it at your work and so on...).

No, other countries operate even more strict versions of it and it works fine.
