England has already banned guns, given this story, should they ban knives?
The story is about a high profile murder in London. One of the actors in the Harry Potter series was killed by a man with two kitchen knives. Banning guns in England has clearly not stopped the killing, so should they now ban knives in the name of public safety?
Of course, they could just ban assault knives, you know, the ones with points and sharp edges.

Just to direct traffic to the question:
What would Obama, Reid, or Pelosi do?
Guerrilla Sauce is of course correct, guns are not totally banned in England. Having said that, they are so totally controlled that the likely hood of anyone having one outside of a range make it from a practical sense a total ban.
For some of the rest of you, please note that knife crime is on a steady rise in England, and this killing is not an isolated incident.

That’s what happens to a socialist country. The government could always do what they want to do,if their MP"s will vote for it! Just like here in Toronto, city officials (Far left Socialist NDP’s)they keep increasing taxes, now they told to the grocery stores to stop using box, if they do they must charge .05 cents each.They are planning to hire people to police the citizens who are putting what in the recycle bin or green bin. I hope that U.S. won’t become a socialist country as well!
If they ban guns and knives, I don’t think it will work! They try to do it here, but there’s more criminals now then 5-10 years ago.Evil people could still find their way to accomplish their premeditated evil plan.
