What do you win for a burglary? Or a robbery? And a murder should rate a microwave. Or a flat screen TV.

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

Don't be silly. They'll just let you trade your dangerous pointy screwdrivers for non-lethal ones that have been blunted on the end.

While we are talking around domestic violence, I remember a newspaper article in the local press from a while back. It would appear that a newly-wed couple were having an 'altercation' in their backyard about where to plant some kind of plants, using string and pegs, watched by the neighbour, who was giving evidence later on.

The man, in sheer exasperation, smacked the gal around the face. Seemed she looked right back at him, and then panned him around the head with the tent-peg mallet she was using to drive the plant posts in.

He collapsed in a heap, whereupon she kicked the ever-livin' shi*t out of him, shouting 'don't you EVER lay a hand on me again, you piece of sh*t!!!'

Apparently it was worth watching. The gal even called 999 [UK's 911] for an ambulance.

from 2009:

Banning Beer Glasses in Pubs
Not beer, just the glasses:

The Home Office has commissioned a new design, in an attempt to stop glasses being used as weapons.

Official figures show 5,500 people are attacked with glasses and bottles every year in England and Wales.

Therein lies the rub of the whole crazy mindset. Blaming the object for the crime. Guns, knives, bottles, tent pegs (although that one gave me a chuckle since the guy hit a woman first).

Maybe we should be putting these items on trial instead of the people wielding them.

Now you know why John Cleese has moved to the Caribbean. Ok, one reason. The others include beaches, hot chicks, sun, and cheap booze. But stupid laws, too.

See, that’s what happens when you ban guns; knife, screwdriver, hammer and rounder bat attacks - glad I left when England was still British...

It's amazing what Jason Statham can do with a fork and spoon....the scene in 'Wild card' is just amazing.

Mind you, John Wickes has a habit of killing people with a pencil, and who knows just how sharp THAT was?

Mrs. DennisM, just now:

"I can think of a hundred objects in this house, other than knives and guns, that I can use to kill you."

And she's not particularly disposed to violence.

Are golf guns legal in Britain?
Not sure because they made a hole in Juan.
