Australia to ban kitchen knives and sharp pointy sticks---

I mean, that's what's next, right? Ravenwood has found some of the worst idiocy I could ever imagine.

Swords will become prohibited weapons from July 1, carrying penalties of up to $12,000 or six months in prison for illegal use or possession, the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, Andre Haermeyer said today.

Criminals use guns, so they banned guns. Not only did that not stop criminals from using guns (BECAUSE CRIMINALS DON'T FOLLOW THE FOOKIN' LAW, MORONS!) but it caused the law abiding citizens to arm themselves with whatever they could. Like swords. And now swords are being banned.

You know, if banning guns didn't help your crime levels, why in the bloody blue blazes would you think that banning swords would do anything? This is the liberal mantra, folks. If it doesn't work, well, it wasn't tried properly! Let's just do it all over again! England's gun crime is STILL on the rise, even though they have an all out ban on handguns. Auistralia has now banned guns, crossbows, and swords. Will they ban tree limbs if a criminal beats a victim with one? The level of idiocy is staggering, people. Just how dumb to you have to be in order to believe that inanimate objects are the cause for crime, not the people who commit crimes? Just how sand-poundingly stupid do you have to be to think that getting rid of weapons will make the world a happy fuzzy warm place? How bone-headed to you have to be in order to ignore the fact that it is the criminals, not some piece of metal, that causes crime, and violence, and death?

Stupidity, idiocy, ignorance, worthlessness, intercranial fecalstenosis, all embodied in human form, disarming fellow humans. Turning citizens into subjects. It's disgusting and infuriating.

So I echo Ravenwood, and Analog Kid, and Mollbot - If you hear that Raging Dave's guns have been taken, you'll know that Raging Dave is dead.
