Compared too how many gun murders and again theres a reason it's not as prominent as it's fucking limited in a way guns are not ....

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.

Thank you. That pretty much destroys onlinebiker's point that vehicles are more deadly that guns.

Ahh yes, ammosexuals upset that other countries are sensible with gun laws. Not even their own fucking country, but OTHER countries, where they don't live. Just because we're fucked up, doesn't mean other countries should follow our fucked up example.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Bullshit.

Bastille Day - 86 dead by a truck -
But somehow that' s OK - because trucks weren' t designedto kill people.....
Fuckn whatever
Of course it's not OK. But you claimed earlier that vehicles kill more people via deliberate use than firearms. Taking a single act with a lorry killing 86 people doesn't really support your claim.

As others have pointed out, a gun only has one purpose, that is to fire a projectile at another object to damage or kill the target.
Automatic weapons only have one function to fire lots of projectiles at another object to damage or kill the target.
To compare gun ownership with owning a truck, a knife, a brick, a baseball bat is just silly.
However the O.P.'s point is well taken, all of them require a nutter at the wrong end of the tool.
