Profiting from knife crime

Jump to: Newest in thread

 

By *ools and the brain OP   Couple 8 weeks ago

couple, us we him her.

A company who has been happy selling knives to anyone over recent years and reports say many of their knives have been used in serious crimes have decided after they have been criticised in the media to hand over their stock as part of the amnesty.

This is a company who have already been profiting and only given in because of pressure.

Under the terms of the agreement they will get £10 per knife they have handed over 35000 knives!

Yes thirty five thousand.

Personally I think they should be prosecuted not rewarded after importing these deadly weapons and selling them for years.

So let's keep enabling and encourage companies to import and sell this hideous weapons that are designed for one purpose to kill and maim.

So the publics answer to solving knife crime is make excuses for the companies responsible for importing them.

Brilliant everyone ( slow hand clap)

As a tech geek, I wonder if knives with a compulsory rounded tip would reduced knife crime? Their primary purpose wouldn't be compromised, but with no tip their penetration would be far less.

The primary purpose of a zombie knife is to look cool and/or threatening. A rounded tip would quite definitely compromise that purpose.

From 24th November it will be illegal to sell or own a zombie knife.

When I watched the news I was thinking they must have imported all those knives for a lot less than a tenner each very recently just to make a profit from the government

So as things stand right now, they are legal to sell...

Glad to see some want people severly punished for acting within the law.

No I said if they have broken any laws then prosecute them,you can't prosecute someone for not breaking the law,wasn't making excuses for anyone,was asking you if they had broken any laws.you want them prosecuted when they haven't broken the law

So you think selling zombie knives is ok then?

We are not talking about a couple of hundred here it's THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND KNIVES.

Not kitchen cutlery/ utensils, but a blade that in some cases 18" long these weapons wouldn't have been out of place in medieval times they have no place in society.

But hey if you think that's ok crack on.

As always fabs never fails to deliver.

I never said that it was illegal I implied it should be and they should be punished rather than rewarded.

This company is the main one who has been exploiting a loophole to sell knives to anyone including a lad who purchased over 90 knives from them and went on to commit murder..

But as long as they are not breaking the law that's okay

Quite so. My point was to ban sharp tip knives altogether. I realise they could be re-sharpened, but then possession would be illegal.

They're off the streets so that's preferable than being exchanged on the dark web, like it or not the business owner is due some recompense although if they brought the stock after the bill was passed absolutely not..

No one said it was OK.

You're arguing (prosecution) legal against moral. They are 2 vastly different things.

Rather than try to allude that I'm saying something, you should probably look at yourself a little.

Can we both agree that these knives are bad news and shouldn't be available for sale in this or any country?

That's not the point though, you want people prosecuted for legal actions and I'll never agree with that.

But it has happened before, someone was convicted of something that was not even a crime when the act was committed and I'm almost positive you'd agree with the judgement in this instance. Mrs x
