Knife control registry next?

Steve H. has a bit of innocent fun at the expense of the English:

The British police, not satisfied with protecting criminals by confiscating firearms and prosecuting people who defend themselves, are now confiscating knives. Next they should try to prevent people from biting each other by removing their teeth. That wouldn't take long in England [Hi, Andy!].

The people who are against knife confiscation want a five-year mandatory sentence for people caught carrying a knife.

After that, he then slashes up Star Trek fans:

The article to which Fark links shows a photo of — no joke — a Klingon "batleff," which is a moronic thing you hold with two hands. Sort of like a giant concave pizza slicer. The cops in the story whine about how deadly it is. Look, assholes, what you have there is a NERD TOY owned by . . . a NERD. Let me remind you how the food chain works. Nerds are not purveyors of violence. Nerds are TARGETS of violence. Wedgies. Titty twisters. Red bellies. You know what I'm talking about. No one nerdy enough to create a hilarious Star Trek pizza slicer is going to be man enough to use it. And anyway, it probably weighs 75 pounds. What nerd can lift 75 pounds? The muscle in a nerd's body is normally concentrated in the right wrist, for reasons best not explored. It takes more than a wrist to wield a hefty piece of steel as long as your leg.

He's right: a pole-weapon of that type takes more than watching a couple of episodes of Star Trek to master. In the hands of someone who knows how to use long weapons, it might be dangerous, but in the hands of a typical fan . . . it's only dangerous to the fan. Oh, and any other fans standing behind or beside him.
