Who needs a knife when you've got a 20,000 LB truck.
Good point!

LOL. OK. Notice nobody in the video was running. And even if you're lucky enough to get a "bolo" around someone, that doesn't keep them from continuing to fire a weapon. Might be good inside a prison or something like that.

IF you think .22 LR out of a handgun won't kill you good luck in your research.


I know a lot of people that routinely kill deer with 80 grainer loads in .223/5.56. It's completely legal. No one is comparing .22 lr to any center fire .22 caliber rifle round.

Terrorists will stop at nothing to do their dirty work. IEDs, home made flame throwers,knives, vehicles. They'll stop at nothing. Why are we importing them again?

Unbelievable. What is next for England banning hammers too? They can be very dangerous. I can see it now, every carpenter and handy man will have to have a background check, a waiting period, extra insurance mandates to buy one and then if they pass the requirements they are handed a large inflatable hammer like what kids and clowns use to whack each other.



I can easily see this type of nonsense coming to America when there is a Dem in the White House.

It's all well and good until you need to stab into something like heavy sail canvas in a storm, then the point and extra blade length can mean life or death.

I'll stick with what's worked for hundreds of years.
What makes you think they have changed the design because that is what they are allowed to make?

I would think that is very unlikely to be the reason as there are no regulations that I'm aware of saying the original design would not be allowed to be manufactured.

Reading comprehension clearly isn't your strong suit. Who is being forced to use this type of knife exactly?

I don't know if the Rayware company is run by 'leftists', but I doubt they are producing this knife due to anything other than consumer demand.

I went to the supermarket this morning. The hardware section was full of large kitchen knives, with sharp points on them. When is this ban coming in, so I can buy sharp knives before they are banned?

Maybe I should check out the hammer section as well. You never know........

Punji stick or any sharp piece of wood can inflict fatal wounds, is the British government going to outlaw chopsticks and barbeque sticks too?

Watch my lips. The British government are not going to ban sharp pointed knives. They are not going to outlaw chopsticks and barbecue sticks.

This is a very silly thread.
