I’m from the us and I’m with you 100% buddy, quite frankly when I look at a knife I don’t see a weapon I see a tool, and that the mindset people need to have, knives don’t kill, people kill!!!
The tools are penalized because spineless politicians won’t do anything about the real problems which are criminals. It’s easier to ban a tool than deal with people. People problems require time and money to solve and are not an easy solution. I am sorry the UK has gone down this road. Unfortunately a lot of people in the US want to go down it as well. I hope you can keep what you have and not lose any more of your rights.
I am so sorry you’re faced with terrible laws! Are you allowed to carry pens or pencils? It seems you’re not allowed to carry much in the UK at all! I am hoping working together will help us change things in the near future!
We are allowed to can pens and pencils but believe it or not someone was charged with carrying an offensive weapon because he had a pencil and he said he was going to stabe someone with it. I love the idea of working together to change things but I'm not sure what can be done. I swear most of the time I'm the only one who talks about these issues in the UK, I'd love to be proven wrong but most other channels or groups rarely talk about it.
I will carry my knives regardless of the law (if it changes) I refuse to give up more rights espically with this whole covid thing I have both jabs yet I dont gain any of the freedom's back I no longer wear a mask the country is so far left it hurts
I feel the same, I've carried a knife for a long time now and don't feel like changing that. As with the covid thing I don't know why people are going along with it, government shouldn't have the power to dictate where we can go, who we can see and when. Why people are still wearing masks I will never know, I never wore one to begin with, we are a year and a half to only 2 weeks to flatten the curve yet we're still playing this silly game on which the government is continually moving the goal posts. Tho I'm more worried about what's going to happen to those of us who don't want a jab
@@scotsman7626 exactly and why should you change that ive carried a pocket knife since was 16 and im almost 21 and I can honestly say I have never wanted to use my knife in a stupid way once And the covid thing I played their game and didn't get rewarded with the freedoms I was told I'd get so therefore I shall go back to a completely normal life although I will still do the social distancing but thsts more cause folk annoy me 🤣
@@bwxbwx6453 aye, I've carried a knife since I was 15 and I'm 24 now, took it everywhere, including collage, shopping etc, not once have I wanted to to hurt someone with it! I feel that way about everything, why did I have to give up my airguns! Why should I give up my crossbows! Or knives! I think everyone should get back to life but of course there now threatening us with this third wave crap, covid didn't really make any deffrence to me, I still went out walking and cycling on my own time table, as well as seeing my mate, only thing I couldn't do is go boxing. Social distancing didn't bother me much, I'm not much of a people person as I'm autistic so I kept away from people anyway but there is not a person on this planet that's going to tell me a can't hug my own mother. Probably with giving the government this kind of power is they don't want to give it back, when was the last time government gave up its power?
@@scotsman7626 exactly and the main enemy for us is the media and just how they essentially criminalise and share scare monger people with false info and that makes people hate masks or anything that could possibly harm someone And exactly imagine being told you can't see ur own family ect I think a lot of people cling to the GOV due to furlough schemes and that but I never got that and I was refused financial help from them so really the GOV has never helped me throughout this pandemic all they have done is scare monger people qnd make rules they didn't even bother following ( plenty of evidence for that) but ur right the GOV won't give up this power they have and tbh I can only see them getting more of it but folk don't stand up for anything anymore
@@bwxbwx6453 I think the only thing we can do is talk about it and tell people the truth, I think I've said this before but why not start a channel yourself and also talk about thses issues? As well as knives off course, I'm I right in thinking you live in Scotland? I can't find anyone other Scottish knife youtuber other than slick Slicers, we need to grow our numbers. I've tried to use my channel to get more people into knives and show that the media is talking utter crap, it's easy proving a point, but my channel is tiny and the bigger channels don't talk about it much. The look down thing proves that when it comes to government it's a rule for thee but not for me, and dispite all of the lies and shite the government has come out with, people are still listening! I try not to use the term sheeple but I don't know what else to say really!
I’ve had my say on the subject to my local MP with with no luck. What annoys me is this, most knife crime in the uk is gang and drug related so the law must come down hard on these criminals and leave the likes of you and me alone, but of course that won’t happen because we are easy targets and there in lies the problem my friend. 😡
Oh they definitely don't care about helping us. In fact any time there is a petition to the government to get back our freedom they just ignore it our tell us to f@#k off basically, we need more people on CZcams, Facebook etc talking about it to raise awareness.
@@neshiah4747 Exactly because that’s where a lot of the knife crimes come from, fixed blade kitchen knives which you can get anywhere and they are cheap.
Why is you government doing this? Has there been a rash of stabbings or something? Knife laws for the most part are just plain stupid. The criminals are going to get them anyway.
There was a 14 year old boy recently stabbed to death in England . I dont know the circumstances nor which type of knife used , but i am sure it wasnt someone whom collects knives as a hobby that was involved , and the young boy was innocent of any wrong doing or criminal behavior . I am very sorry that the young lad lost his life to some thug wielding a knife , and my sincere condolences go to the boys family . But it's this kind of horrible act and many others that add fuel to the fire in banning knives , and gets members of parliament up in arms regarding knives . I hope this helps answer your question .
@@jamesbell7958 Yes it does. I was a police officer for 36 years, 26 of those was in criminal investigations. Of the murders I saw most were committed with kitchen style knives. One involved an outlawed style knife. I think the real issue is mental health and how children are raised. Outlawing knives and guns isn't a cure in my opinion because criminal types don't care about abiding the law. They will get them anyway and the net result is they are just disarming the law abiding citizens. Good luck.
To the best of my knowledge some parts of the UK have a lot of stabbings, especially the likes of London, Birmingham etc but nothing they do makes any sense, it doesn't help that its illegal to carry anything for self defence, and these knife bans certainly don't do anything to stop the violence.
@@scotsman7626 I agree with you whole heartedly! Politicians think they need to do something even though that something does nothing to help and in some cases hinders the rights of law abiding citizens. I don't understand how the police in the UK can be on duty unarmed. I would have been killed three and a half years into my career, if not sooner had I not carried a sidearm.
Our knife laws are so stupid most crimes are caused buy lad nicking there mums kitchen knives 9 times out of 10 if am in public and need to use a knife to cut my kids sweet packs open or sumit like that I have to use my classic SD off my keys and even then some times I feel like am getting funny looks people carry knives as tools and it's due to a select few knobs heads that ruine it for the rest, how is a butterfly knife or spring assisted knife anymore dangerous then any other knife I can understand the whole 3inch knife blade they don't want people carrying bid arse blades but to class a locking knife as a fixed blade is stupid and that whole zombie knife thing was stupid what do people in America and other countries think when they look at us and I've noticed a few stores now sell kitchen knives that are rounded at the end not pointed
I know exactly what you mean about, I feel like a criminal just sitting at home a lot of the time just because I collect knives. The zombie knife ban was basically a stunt, and probably to lay the ground work for further bans later on. I was worried about the rounded knife thing, are you on Instagram? If so, would you be able to take some photos of these rounded knives and send them to me? I'd like to talk about it more, I've done videos in the past about it, but thought the Idea was dropped, and I haven't seen it in person yet.
@@scotsman7626 am not on Instagram sorry no I am on Facebook but that's only to keep in touch with family Ive kinda gone off socal media and only really stick to you tube I work at Dunelm and if you go on there website and type in kitchen knives you will see them viners is one of the main brands that's do it infact the company doesn't even let yourself walk around with the kitchen knives when you got to buy them they keep them behind the counter it is a video worth looking at again if it's something you've noticed Ive noticed it more and more threw out the years ..... I thought the same tho when I saw the zombie knife things it's something theve set in place for something bigger later on in the future how does a green or skull knife be more deadlier then a normal knife my borthers a police officer and he send me knives for my birthday and collects axes him self so I know it's not all bobby's that think all knives are weapons but I don't get how a leatherman with a lock knife csncge classes as a weapon and why butterfly or gravity knives or even flip knives are worse then any other fix blade or any knife for that matter I've have a pocket knife since I was 10 and not caused any harm with anyone with it apart from my self .... And that's always down to me messing with a new blade
@@robhowell4424Fair enough, seems things are way worse then I thought, all of that it's just insane, we'll need a license for a teaspoon at this rate, my local ASDA no longer sells single kitchen knives,i think that's ASDA only sells them as sets to stop single kitchen knives being stolen. By the letter of the law its illegal to write the word "zombie kill" on a common kitchen knife, I thought about doing just that and making a video about it but I think I actually could be arrested for it. Where are all the resnable officers when you need them, I heard others say what you said, but never really see it, I don't know why they don't speak out.
@@scotsman7626 I don't think there many around I think it's due to a lack of knowledge I think with knife crime most officers just wanna take knives off everyone .... Before I even new about knife laws I thought leathermans were ok to carry and for about a year I walked around with a skeletool cliped to my pocket ... And I don't get why that would stop anyone if someone wants to buy a knife for crime there gonna buy one regardless
