UK Knife Amnesty

[jkirk]

yea totally pointless to get rid of knives or guns for that matter.

we have a saying here," guns don't kill people - people kill people."

and "if you outlaw a weapon then only the outlaws will have weapons"

i just don't see the point of outlawing something inanimate. anything can be abused and used improperly. anything can kill,( cars, trees, water, fire, Etc) if we outlawed all of them then where would we be? screwed...

Ok then, so do you agree with the outlawing of the inanimate Crack Cocaine in your country?

wow man what ya talkin' bout.
he he

really that is an interesting question. one i have not really settled in my mind but off the top of my head i would say no. this is the reasons.

1 money spent keeping it out will actually be better spent helping the needy. of course that won't happen it would be funneled into the military. :-(

2 though it would cause a temporary surge of addicts in the end there will be no more abuse than drinking or smoking.

3 the war on drugs will never be won
