From CNN regarding the recent killing of a Harry Potter actor with a knife in the UK (where they took away everyone's guns to fix the crime problem):

"Knife crime in Britain is a political hot topic due to a spate of recent killings of mainly young people in major cities. UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown has urged tougher sentences for those caught carrying knives. He told the Daily Telegraph last month: "By carrying a knife you are not only endangering the lives of others, but you are more likely to be killed, or end up in jail.
"We need to change the way young people think about knives, we need families and communities working together ... to get this message across and help stamp out knife crime and get weapons off our streets."

Note that you could replace every instance of the word "knife" with "gun" and you would have exactly the same argument used today in the US about guns. Almost word for word.

So what now, knife registration? Take away all knives? Are ink pens next?
