I agree but the thing is you can't legally buy knifes unless your 25yr old so where are they getting this lethal killing items from .  |

You have to be 18 years of age or over to buy a knife in the UK even kitchen knives, as for where they get them from even I know that think about it and do some research Even the pound shops sell kitchen knives. Many outlets sell knives have done for years , they can't ban them we all need them , Zombie knives are banned and not just in public |

Carrying a "Zombie knife" in the street is already an offence. No new legislation is needed. If Khan said what is suggested, he must be grandstanding, as what is required is stop and search or x-ray type machines on the streets, like those airport scanners that see through clothes. 😱 As I stated earlier you cannot possess them even in your own home it is a offence already added to Legislation |

Stop and search is essential.
And, if the moronic mayor is so afraid of the Police being seen as "racist", there are whites armed with knives too.
Stop and search everyone.

Sadiq Khan says the reason knife crime is so high in Londonistan is because this nasty Tory government have not banned zombie knives. He seems to be of the opinion that if young thugs could not buy zombie knives, then the knife crime epidemic he encouraged by effectively banning stop and search would suddenly disappear... Khan's chatting shit as usual. The reason knife crime is so high is because Khan's undermined the police at every turn and, as you say, effectiviely banned stop & search. As for Zombie knives, they are banned and there's a specific offence of possessing one. Not that it makes a blind bit of difference since Zombie knives are actually a rubbish weapon and the majority of stabbings are carried out with ordinary kitchen knives. Joanne Dennehy had one.  At least the sick bitch will die in prison. |

Hmmm
As an emergency first responder to give me my posh title for what used to be called an industrial first aider I can attest through personal experience that the serrated edge of a freezer knife as it used to be called does FAR more damage than the kitchen chopping knife, for I had to take my colleague to A&E - or casualty as it was then called - with the one his wife had thrust through his ribs still in him
It took ALL my skill in CSI Cleanup to remove the stains from my car afterwards
Speaking as a fully trained vivisectionist I must also attest to my personal preference for a serrated edge when causing trauma, but the fine smooth blade of a number 10 or eleven Swan Morton scalpel when entry is to be gained with minimal force.
I could castrate or nephectomise (disconnect your kidney) you with one of those and until the blood loss made you dizzy you'd not realise there was a problem. Death through exsanguination would follow in the next 30-60 seconds after your realisation. But to do it quickly I need the serrations on the zombie knife to slice through your abdomen and sever the dorsal aorta Japanese 'seppucho' style
bUT cleaning the bits of intestine that stick to those serrations off afterwards is a right bugger, and tbe smell is fuckung indescribable.
No, I'm not a cuddly fluffy bunny.

And was there, or was there not, a report yesterday of yet another child gunned down by what I presume to be a stray bullet in a gunfight in a UK street ? Explain to me how the banning of handgun ownership ended gun crime in the UK ?? |

That's the problem with gesture politics: Something must be seen to be done even if it achieves absolutely nothing in reality.

Exactly my thoughts. And my question was a but whats the word now, rhetorical ? |

Yep.
Placing additional restrictions on the already law abiding is totally pointless. For example, stopping me from owning a handgun won't save a single life because I'm never going to shoot anyone. Whereas criminals that are intending to shoot someone don't give a shit about the law and will do it anyway.
Law does not prevent crime.

It is not possible never has been , all you can possibly achieve is to reduce it and bring in stronger punishment |

Those Zombie knives have bigger handles so a stronger grip is allowed and the reach of the blade is longer than a kitchen knife.
People probably buy as much to intimidate rather than kill though it would be better if these knives were off the streets.

Agreed — though stopping everyone in the street might quickly lose the support of the public. Perhaps random blanket swoops (like has been done for drugs at some Underground stations) would be effective without antagonising everyone...
