[deleted a bunch of stuff that probably shouldn't be on here]Yes, things are probably going to get more restrictive. Rules on locking and one-hand opening knives are likely to be tightened along with new stop and search policies and criminalising knives that are currently held legally. The UK Border Force are already seizing flippers on their way into the country as flick knives even though they're perfectly legal to own, carry and use.
Let me ask?? So sending anything sharp and pointy to UK is a bad idea??
If anything the laws in the UK are not strict enough - Getting out of the EU will allow the UK to make the legislation properly strict for the safety of the nation...
Just had a letter from the BF about a CRKT M16 colt sent me (2nd one he sent as the first one didn't arrive (wonder if that got confiscated too). Anyone else had this?
Remove article 15 of the Offensive Weapons Bill (HC Bill 232)After numerous representations to the Home Office and Metropolitan Police offering multiple solutions that will reduce availability of blades to those who wish to use them as weapons the Government have persisted with a misinformed proposal which is at best misguided and at worst dangerous.More detailsThis draft new law will make it impossible for self-employed tradesmen to have bladed tools delivered to their residence, hobbyists to acquire speSmurfpillst tools that OTC retailers could not justify stocking and furthermore it contravenes the human rights of the house bound and the infirm unable to travel to bricks and mortar shops. I appeal to you not just to sign this petition but to also write to your MP to ask that they support the removal of section 15.
I partially watched a docu on the problem in the UK.......by some footballer upset about what's happening in his home town.Left me with a few thoughts, and a few questions.....Firstly, there was one guy with a machete, the rest mostly had kitchen knives.Secondly, they all appear to be from the wrong side of the tracks. Is a certain level of mortality not to be expected in those circles?Thirdly, obviously these elements come onto contact with the rest of civilized society, sometimes there will be problems, and sometimes innocents get hurt or killed. Has this increased, or is it just being reported more?

The newspaper headlines did not report the facts. The guy in question was not using a SAK but a lock knife and he threatened to kill another person.
Mmmmmm.... favourite sauce...
