The legislation is intended to clamp down on the use of certain social media sites by gang members and by people with prior convictions for knife-related crime. In other words, it seeks to make it harder for violent CRIMINALS to carry knives. How can you sensibly object to this?
Also, please stop repeating the canard that 'they have taken the guns away'. It's simply not true.

and you clearly do not have a english understanding of the word ban. look it up next time dumb ass before you correct someone.
You failure in comprehension is assuming the use of the word ban can only indicate a total ban which is true a ban can mean a total ban but it can also mean to suppress or in this case a partial ban/restrict use. even if it is with certain people.. it is still a ban to try and quell knife crime!
'Ban' means 'to prohibit'. Nothing - absolutely nothing - in the article to which you linked makes mention of the prohibition of either the ownership or use of knives. Nothing.
