NYC also bans any knife with a locking blade. So even 2" or 3" lockback pocket knives are illegal. That rules out my cute little spyderco dragonfly.

Then what's the motivation for this?

_"Doctors' kitchen knives ban call"_
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4581871.stm

_"Police knife amnesty nets 40,000 weapons_
Violent Britain: Vast haul of weapons renews calls for tighter controls 9 Kitchen knife in family tragedy"_
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/po...s-1325322.html

Or else is it simply "one knife stabbing is too many"?

No one died in this attack, the injuries were minor.

Knives aren't the efficient killers guns are.

We need to ban violent people. Assailant control is the only answer. Without violent people we can all live in peace. We need to hang all the bullies.
