Knives don't kill people, people kill people

I'd laugh if this didn't make me cry. The Brit's are seriously calling for a ban on kitchen knives to stop stabbings. I wonder if we should start by simply registering them. Then maybe banning the cheap ones. I mean those $20 knife sets at Target are clearly made just to kill people. I mean, look at how they display the stabbing knife so prominently. Why not the paring knife? If a person really wanted to cook, they would buy Wusthof.

Hat tip to Drudge.

DIRECTOR ADDS: Sharp rocks are pretty dangerous, too. To paraphrase a line from Jurassic Park, death will find a way. Humans have been killing each other from the beginning using the best available technology of the day. Rolling back technology will not alter human behavior one whit.
