Ban Everything

OMFG! We had another mass killing. Time to ban dive boats.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) — Officials said Tuesday that 34 people died after a boat packed with scuba divers caught fire near an island off the Southern California coast and they have called off search efforts for survivors.

Stop the senseless killing.

How’s that gun ban in the UK working out? Time to ban knives.

Whether administered by the knife or the gun, the UK and US are both experiencing epidemics of violence. However, the responses are the same on each side of the Atlantic: lots of finger pointing and few actual solutions.
In the US, a pair of deadly mass shootings in Texas and Ohio killed more than 30 people over one weekend. These attacks brought to 255 the number of mass shootings in the US so far this year. Although the definition used here is a broad one and includes minor incidents with no deaths, the fact remains that 8,930 people have been killed with firearms in the US so far in 2019.

Across the Atlantic, the UK is grappling with an epidemic of its own. A routine traffic stop in London on Wednesday night turned bloody when a driver turned on police officers and allegedly hacked them with a machete, an incident becoming more familiar to the city’s law enforcement officers.

Hmmm! I wonder if that dude were an immigrant?

This surge in knife crime saw London’s murder rate overtake that of New York last year, while across England and Wales, 43,516 knife crime offenses were recorded in the 12 months ending March 2019. 67 people have been murdered in London in the first six months of this year and, according to statistics released in May, five young people are attacked with a knife every day in the British capital.

Yep. Time to ban knives. You’re doing a great job as mayor Khan. Maybe a little more time doing your job and a little less time criticizing Trump would help.

  1. Yep. After the National SOCIALISTS banned guns, they went after cutting and stabbing weapons. See Halbrook, Stephen GunControl in the Third Reich. If we won’t learn from history, we’ll be condemned to repeat it.

  2. I want off this fucking ride.

    Here’s life in this asshole expecting protective bubble everyone demands.

    And all this shit started when the Boomers began getting AIDS at Studio 54.

  3. Hell, I’ve always got at least 4 blades of varying sizes with me. The Browning lock-back is stainless and won’t keep an edge, but it’s better than nothing. Another blade is only about 1.5 inches, and a slightly shorter one on a multi-tool. Then there’s the old Buck with the plastic body and the tip that broke off cuttin’ strapping tape. I left the Buck on my pocket by accident when on jury duty. Left the courthouse at lunchtime and when I pulled out my truck keys, there came the knife. Decided to see if it’d make it past the metal detector again and it made it just fine. Good thing I didn’t go crazy and go after all them-there armed deputies with my 2 inch blade, huh?
    At least my knives ain’t run off on their own and killed somebody. They must be just as defective as my guns that’ve never escaped and gone on their own killin’ sprees.

  4. Hell there is a mass shooting every weekend in Chicago. For that matter, just about every day. Last weekend 7 were killed and another 30 some shot. One a 15 year old whose buddies called him on his cell and said, “Step outside for a minute” and when he did, the shot him 5 times. Hmmm, I wonder if drugs were involved in any matter? Probably just kids being kids. If they wouldn’t have had guns, likely they would have beat the shit out of the kid (literally) with a baseball bat (s). By the way, police have no suspects other than “some youths”.
    I keep posting in various spots that since politicians and bureaucrats fuck up everything they touch, rather than try to put gun control (bwahaha) throughout the country, lets try it first in Chitcagahole and then Baltimore.
