The government have published proposed changes to legislation for consultation. This is in an effort to curb the use of weapons such as knives and acid.
Offensive and dangerous weapons: new legislation - GOV.UK
It looks like yet another populist knee jerk reaction by the government. They need to be seen "doing something", even if it will be ineffective in curbing knife crime, while at the same time putting people out of work and further restricting law abiding people.
This is being discussed on other forums:
ATTENTION - The End of Internet Knife Sales. One Handed Folders Made Illegal to Own.
Thoughts? Would you stand up against this? Would you contact your MP to challenge this?
