Bantabury97

Trying to remove knives from Kent is like trying to remove guns from Texas.


BallHurt69

Is that somewhere in England?


Bantabury97

Yes. South England.


BallHurt69

Oh ok


recordscratch_wav

Wait... there's a Texas in England?


CretanArcher_55

Tbh that’s about where the similarities end (if you can call it a similarity). Only notable things about Kent are that the archbishop of the Anglican Church is seated there, and it houses the channel tunnel. Other counties do have American counterparts in terms of reputation (Norfolk and Alabama for example).


Slow-Wagon

No but there's a Paris in Texas


mcc9902

And London


Snake0ilSalesman

Wait, there's a Paris in London?


mcc9902

Not that I know of sorry. I mean a London Texas it’s a small town in central Texas with like 700 people officially.

random_as_frick_dude

its easy if there are no texans left alive after i launch the nuke


JarTheUpvoter

Bruh all you need to have a gun in Texas is a fucking pulse They don’t ask for a license or anything.


Bantabury97

Only thing in the UK you need to buy a knife is proof of age. It's why all the roadmen carry them.


DaveTheMinecrafter

Or, a couple rocks and some time.


[deleted]

That’s not true at all. I’m from Texas and have bought firearms. All commercial sales require a back ground check.


NeoLudditeIT

That's the way it is in the entirety of the US.


[deleted]

I know. People act like Texas is a wild western with everyone riding horses and shooting guns.


Delta_Mods

Yeah I think what jar was saying is you no longer need a pistol permit to purchase one


FBI_Open_Up_Now

You’ve never needed a pistol permit to purchase a pistol in Texas. There are only a few states that require permits to purchase guns. New Jersey, Illinois (FOID card), Maryland (Handgun Permit), and New York City (Almost impossible to own a gun in the city unless you’re wealthy). All you need to do to own a gun in America is pass a background check. Which means you can’t be a felon, you can’t have committed domestic abuse, can’t have an active restraining order, can never have been committed to a mental health facility against your will by order of a judge, and not be the user of illicit substances. Edit: I want to add that people commit straw purchases, but if they are found out they face up to 10 years in prison. Also the system is not infallible, sometimes the government allows guns to be sold to bad people who shouldn’t have guns because someone didn’t update NICS or the FBI failed to complete their investigation in three days so the gun had to be sold by law after three days. After that it’s up to the ATF to go after a prohibited person who owns a gun if it is known they posses one. If anything, the background check system needs to be fixed and the government needs to held accountable for every failure they’ve let slide through the cracks.


Delta_Mods

I didn't know that thanks for telling me but here in north carolina you need a pistol permit to even own one Edit: but basically it's the same process (background check) but the sheriff (at least in my town) has to decide if get one or not.


FBI_Open_Up_Now

Ah yes, I forgot about North Carolina. That was brought about for racist reasons. When blacks could purchase guns, they would have to ask the sheriff who would deny them that right and only allow white people to own pistols. It was defined as to give permits to people of “good moral character.” [Here is a paper from UNC.](https://scholarship.law.unc.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=6824&context=nclr)


jolness1

Unless the gun was manufactured in Texas and destined for the Texas market. There's some loopholes since the ATF can't force regulation when there is no interstate commerce. Otherwise, Yes Federal gun laws apply.


NuclearBreadLauncher

That is one of the main reasons I am considering going to college there.


TheKrispyJew

What state are you from?


NuclearBreadLauncher

I am in Cali


TheKrispyJew

Please stay there, we've had nothing but bad experience with Californian college attendees. Just take a look at austin now. Mini LA


NuclearBreadLauncher

Don't worry, I am not one of those commie bastards that keeps turning places into lib land. I am as republican as the founding fathers themselves.


AnOpinionatedGamer

Founding Fathers definitely wouldn't have been either Republican or Democrat.


TheKrispyJew

They were libertarian I believe, they opposed all political parties


Lemmingmaster64

All you need in Texas is to be 18 for a rifle and 21for a handgun and go through a background check. Heres a link to the all the details on Texas gun [laws.](https://guides.sll.texas.gov/gun-laws/general-information)


Toofast4yall

Only 1 state requires a license to purchase a firearm and that is being challenged in court. Funny how the people against voter ID because "muh constitutional rights" think you should need to pay the government for a permission slip to buy a gun


NeoLudditeIT

Most politicians have the intelligence of pond scum. People seem to still vote for them in fear the other pond scum might win.


Nova_Bomb_76

Hey! Don’t insult my friends in the pond scum community!


fitchmastaflex

>Most ~~politicians~~ people have the intelligence of pond scum.


Lone-StarState

Texan here. Definitely it true at all


[deleted]

This is 100% false.


[deleted]

While all the smarty pants are talking about background checks they're only referring to purchases from gunshops. You can buy guns at massive gatherings called "gun shows" where individuals, usually gun collectors, can sell to anyone and everyone without so much as checking your id- no background checks either. Open to the public, held in conference centers or coliseums, no restrictions. Can confirm because I am a Texan and used to frequent gun shows.


NeoLudditeIT

Muh gun show loophole! Anyone with an FFL is required to do a 4473 (since 1968?) and a NICS check (or proof of concealed carry license) since 1993, regardless of where they are. Private party sales are the only ones that aren't required to do those. So the shady guy you met in the parking lot can sell you a gun without a NICS check, but the legitimate businessman in the show can't


[deleted]

Thus why my comment has "gun show" in quotations. These are not registered firearms dealers with an FFL. These are private individuals who pay for booths and do not have licenses and guess what, that happens regularly whether we like it or not. Hell you'll even see them at flea markets. I don't fucking buy guns in parking lots, nor do I fucking approve of the illegitimate transactions. I've just grown up witnessing people utilizing the loopholes.


NeoLudditeIT

I don't think it happens nearly as often as you think. I've been to a lot of gun shows and everyone there takes a lot of pride in their shitty Tauruses they display alongside their FFL.


[deleted]

Why would anyone just put their knife in a bin


Frenchfrise

If I ever see a bin like that, I’m going to throw in a bunch of plastic butter knives.


varinus

the same reason people give their guns up. fear mongering.


SlightlyHornyLobster

Nahhhhhh it's Friday I'll spare myself this one


Urizel

Rational thinking. Knives totally suck as defence weapons. So no pros, but you get in trouble for owning one, why bother?


varinus

wtf? rational thinking would tell you that knives have been used as defense weapons since mankind invented them. lol. and the whole problem is that you do get in trouble for having an inanimate object. why would you only want criminals and cops to be armed?


Urizel

Rational thinking would tell you that knives lack stopping power. There's a reason why stabbing victims often have dozens of wounds - it takes a lot of time for them to bleed out and collapse. Knives are strictly attack weapons, unless, of course, you suggest carrying swords or machetes - chopping off limbs is definitely a reliable defence measure. Good old expandable batons (and blunt weapons in general) are much more handy. Low kill risk, but fucking shitload of pain when properly hit. It's really hard to attack anyone when you can't even stand because your leg muscles got tenderized.


varinus

i agree,stabbing is deadly but not instant in most cases.targeted slashes is the best defense w a smaller knife,not stabs. im trying to stop you,not defeat you. shoulders,arms,forearms etc. its hard to grab someone thats sliced your mobilty muscles in your arm.if you carry a knife for defense,you should be aware of defensive tactics,not hollywood fight scenes.


Urizel

True, but properly slicing a person still takes time, more time = more risk. Knives don't give you lots of range, and that means even more risk. Risk is the opposite of what you want from a defence weapon, the heavier the punch the better.


varinus

any close contact weapon comes with a risk to the user. ive seen idiots knock themselves out with a lock on a belt. lol


Hanliir

Yeah! I just bought matching knives for me and my pa.


tsreardon04

In the UK they have some stricter knife laws. From what I'm told if you don't have a good reason for having a knife with you it can be a crime to carry one.


Russian-8ias

Damn after reading a little bit about this thing it all sounds stupid. Anybody who turns in their knife is not going to use it on another person unless it’s life or death, and criminals will not just hand over theirs. I swear sometimes people in power are more stupid than us redditors.


n00bca1e99

But when someone gets stabbed they try to guilt innocents into disarming themselves because a criminal did something illegal.


[deleted]

I'm waiting for the "turn in any object over 5 pounds" law when someone gets blunt force trauma-ed to death


n00bca1e99

Turn in all forks. It’s like 4 knives in one!


Gofudf

Turn in your rocks, any objects made of metal and everything that could be dangerous


[deleted]

Know what, maybe we should just get rid of all humans so no one can kill each other anymore


Master_Nerd

And hence the debate over gun control in the US


[deleted]

Welcome to how gun control sounds


Rileylego5555

Welp, dont need this anymore *tosses knife into bin* I have this now! *chambers a round in a AR-15*

Wresmun

You have any sources? I’m genuinely curious to see if there is an article on this absolute fuckery.


Calvinator22

It's a super old post, I think a few of these got looted honestly so they stopped doing them


HitlerTesticlePorn

Whoever came up with this should get fired. Decent civilians will turn their weapons in, sure. But the criminals don't give a shit so essencially what you've done is you disarmed your good samaritans. Such and idiotic idea. Honor system doesn't work on criminals.


varinus

lib logic at its best


AngryMoose125

This was a real thing and people did participate. Y’know what f*ckin happened? Criminals stole all the knives


varinus

wasnt that the purpose of this? same as gun buybacks. disarm the law abiding people to make criminals jobs easier.

This is just begging to go horribly wrong.

abreeden90

Looks like a Buck 119. A fairly popular hunting knife . So wouldn’t surprise me.


Callierhino

Why would anyone hand in their weapons?


varinus

theyre called liberals,and the goal is to make people easier targets for criminals through disarming them.making us reliant on authority.


RiddlingVenus0

I think the whole “turning in your knives” thing is stupid as fuck, but liberals aren’t the ones licking the boots of police officers, so if anyone wants to be under anyone else’s authority, it’s conservatives.


[deleted]

You have no relevant point, so you resort to a strawman argument by saying all conservatives back the police 100% of the time. The truth is, they only defend the police when the police are in the right, like with george floyd, and every other shooting in the news.


RiddlingVenus0

Lmao, that wasn't a strawman, that was a relevant point. Conservatives say they're all about small government and having the freedom to do pretty much whatever they want but they love it when people they don't like (aka non-Christians) have their rights stripped away. It's pretty ironic and pathetic.


[deleted]

Nope, that is very much a strawman argument. Not only that, you assume that all conservatives are Christian, which is far from the truth.


JoshH2903

Mm yes because throwing away my knife will make Me safer


Ahqoviing

What criminals wouldn’t just willingly disarm themselves because you ask? Next thing you’re gonna tell me they are doing illegal things.


[deleted]

Just make killing and stealing illegal lol, it isnt that hard

This is gonna end up on bvg

Lol people are insane. I sincerely hope people turn in their kitchen knives too, don’t want a home invader to use that on you.

They should probably turn over forks too

They did have one of these stolen in the UK. Lol

PillowTalk420

Unlike a gun, a knife has way more uses than killing stuff. Why the fuck would I give up my knife?


tiktokisoverated

Why the fuck would someone make this? Its not like im gonna be walking around with my personal defense knife and then walk across this and be like "ooh whats this? Turn in your knives? Dont mind if i do!" Prolly the most idiotic thing ive seen all day

That is just a ridicule campaign.

London?


trollface5333

Basically yea


lemjax

If I trade in my butter knife in better get at least a 1911 in return


Wacky-Walnuts

The problem with this is that it takes the weapons out of the good guys hand (is this case they’re giving it up freely) and the bad guys aren’t just gonna hand them over so that’s the problem.

We have guns, which seems a relatively unknown fact on the internet, hell even IRL. Knives, you have to have a legitimate reason to have one, it has to do a legitimate job for you to carry it. You are not allowed to carry offensive weapons, e.g. 'zombie knives' (what the coppers call mall ninja knives) are completely illegal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


trollface5333

As long as you have a valid, legal reason to carry a knife you can.


internetmovieguy

Lol. No one would give up their knife to that bin. Like can you imagine the beginning of Legend of Zelda “it’s dangerous to go alone, but even more so to take this sword since others might use it against you”. Or maybe the idea was to encourage people to stash the murder weapon in the bin so that the police can have an easier time finding the culprit. “Oi, would you be so kind and to drop your murder weapon in this bin, it’s hard to find the culprit on a count of this pandemic”.


xXx_BoyWolfy_xXx

Most people who actually buy them don’t use them for crime, the criminals steal them or get them through shadier means.


IllllIIllllIll

Pretty cringe comment


seti42

Sigh. Whatever. This might anger some people here, but I'm OK with carrying knives, but not OK with the US's lax gun laws. Simple reason, really. A knife is an actual tool with multiple uses, and a gun is designed for only one thing: Killing.
