One of the most important Common Law cases around culpability in homicide revolved on a man being battered to death with a chapatti pan.

I'll say this: It makes as much sense as gun control. To the better or to the worse.

Do you often use your gun when slicing meat? It must make for interesting leals

Actually, I love stabbing things with my pointy knives, but I agree it's not essential to the cooking.

Nope. We Chinese managed to created tiny bits out of food without using pointy knifes for centuries.

Yes, but you end up creating less than optimal pieces for eating when chopping up lobsters and crabs. In addition, you end up splintering the bones when cutting birds (like chicken, ducks, geese, etc.).

quote: Originally posted by molly bloom Yes, but your post implied it was the government behind this call. It wasn't, for once. The gun laws are there to prevent the same people who stick knives in each other to settle simple domestic arguments from buying handguns and doing the same thing, but at a distance. In case you hadn't noticed, they work- which is partly why Liverpool doesn't resemble Baltimore.

there are more differences between Liverpool and Baltimore than just gun.

actually it should be noted that knives are already restricted. At least in the U.S.

There are restriction on carrying knives over 4 inches in length for instance. Those are illegal. You can't have switch blades, and I believe balisongs (butterfly knives) are also illegal.

So why is it we restrict carrying knives over 4 inches in length in public, but it's perfectly okay to have them in your home?

although one must consider the impact this will have on the horror movie genre. If the woman in distress can't pick up a big kitchen knife in the movie, what impact will this have?

Thats knifes, but what about forks ? I have a nice steak fork wich certainly could be a deadly weapon, but if it was blunt, I couldn't use it.

I don't mind restrictions on pocket knifes and banning guns, but to extend it to kitchen tools is a liitle far out.

Of course, we could also have a society where anything that cannot be eaten with a spoon is banned.

So why can't you share other stories such as the one you already mentioned without going into every gory detail?

That's because the knife isn't sharp enough.

actually I just read in the paper that it's knives longer than 3 inches that are banned in my city.

A guy was just charged with this crime after killing another dog with a knife (because the dog was killing his dog).

it's kind of unbelievable you can't carry a knive, but a gun is okay.

You can't carry knives of a certain length concealed. If you carry them on your belt in plain site you can walk around with a bowie knife if you please.
