Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- The Autochthonic Personal Paranoia of Leftist Politicians:
UK’s Home Secretary’s latest plan to tackle the nation’s precipitous, amazing “Knife Crime Emergency” involves the issuance of “Knife Crime Prevention Orders” (KCPO) to persons over the age of twelve, who are believed by police to carry a blade routinely.
There has been, of course, no response to the question what KCPOs are supposed to accomplish.
And, once all knives in the UK have been confiscated and destroyed, and once all incarcerated bladesmiths, butchers, chefs, and cooks are tasked with destroying plastic straws during their mandatory lifetime residence upon the Isle of Wight, what will ever-meddling, hyper-paranoid leftists target next?
Will it indeed be plastic straws, screwdrivers, hair-dryers, cricket bats, or human thought?
Will the Home Secretary now commission a freshly-uniformed legion of “Thought Police” to go about and arrest all who have the audacity to think “non-government-approved” thoughts?
Delusional political leftists, here and there, are at all times surrounding themselves with heavily-armed bodyguards (while simultaneously insisting that the rest of us be forcibly stripped of every single object whose use as a “weapon” could be imagined), are nonetheless continuously persuaded that everyone is “out to get them.”
Oh, that it were true.
“The idea of the ‘paranoid style’ as a force in politics would have little contemporary relevance, nor historical value, if it were applied only to men with profoundly disturbed minds. It is the use of paranoid modes of expression by more-or-less ‘normal’ people that makes the phenomenon significant.” ~ Hofstadter

Are politicians everywhere that stupid? Term limits are the only solution to rid this plight of morons who cannot reason or think.
As I remember from school after world war 1 the Britons disarmed there people. They had to get arms from the American
People. We sent them lever actions, bolt actions, & 22’s. This was to fight world war 2. How is it they have not learned?
Where is my reply to TGWD, Ammoland?!!? About the 100th time or so.

At some point, those with blacksmith skills will be highly sought after in the UK and not just for their knife making skills either. Youngsters take note and look for an apprentice job at a stable.
I have carried a knife since I was 8, I am now 62 and have yet to kill or attempt to kill anyone.
How are they yo cut their meat and such? no knife to cut it with, Just look like an a*S and chew it?
When the U.K. fought their LAST great WAR, Where did they get the ARMS to fight with when they ran out of sticks and stones?
The deciders are illogical and delusional….Psychopaths.
There is something fascinating about this situation, in the same way a cobra is fascinating. It would be an hysterically funny dark comedy if it weren’t so tragic. How can an entire nation slip so quickly and completely into the hands fanatical collectivists? There’s definitely a lesson for us here. Just look at what BOTH parties just did with the Omnibus bill, effectively cutting the legs out from under border security. If anyone was blaming Trump, keep in mind that it passed with a veto proof majority, which means that REPUBLICANS are also actively undermining our nation’s security. We are… Read more »
It is difficult to compare shootings by firearms to the U.K. when we have more than 265,000,000 guns in the U.S. With that number we need to be armed, as the perps do not abide by the law. No other developed nation comes close to the rate of US in gun violence. Found that in 2015, Great Britain police only had to fire their guns seven times!!!! 26 deaths by guns in the U.K. compared to 11,000+ in the U.S. The Green Byte Watch Dog
