Surprising facts are that there are in 'gun-banned UK' some 1.3 Million shotguns and 525,125 licensed other firearms.
As you would of course realize .. those licensed long-arms and the few remaining handguns seldom cause any issues.
The SUN newspaper reported that - so far this year - there have been 1,299 stabbings in London, 51 of them were FATAL. . LBC Radio is saying 5 new stabbings overnight -2 FATAL.
Crime figures released in July 2018 showed knife crime surged by 16-20 percent.
The total number of offences involving a knife or bladed instrument that have been recorded by UK cops in the year to March 2018 rose to 40,147, a seven-year-high.
GUN use in crime is up by close to 5% - Meanwhile their right wing UK elected politicians have REDUCED Police numbers by nearly 21,000.
Lawful sporting pistol shooters have to use weird joke adaptions - those "long handguns" (over two foot long) - that are a ridiculous way to have to use to maintain legal sport target shooting - (or the alternative "black powder guns")GUN use in crime is up by close to 5% - Meanwhile their right wing UK elected politicians have REDUCED Police numbers by nearly 21,000.
- And further regarding these LEGAL two foot long handguns ... haven't the authorities got enough imagination to realize that a loopy "NUTTER" would just use a saw to shorten the barrel and remove the long stock before going out as a 'live shooter'?
All these daft rules do is inconvenience and limit law-abiding citizens.
British "Muzzle Loading" Conversion .. NO Self Contained Cartridges.

Knives: - To be honest I found this helpful gentleman rather boring - but he does explain that a Brit may have a folding blade 'penknife' with the blade shorter than 3 inches:

- Offensive weapons specifically Banned by The Home Office in UK. - This reviewer is amusing and correct in his comments. - as he says - more than 90% of UK criminal acts with edged weapons are with legal kitchen cutlery or 'box-cutters' & screw-drivers:

Thinking people know that BANNING things is a waste of time & money .. because the nutters and criminals invariably ignore the law. Why don't they try banning the criminals?
