Question for the people in the UK: by SnArL2008-02-13 10:47:58
  Huhwha? by krikkert2008-02-13 10:54:06
    How is this not relevant? by SnArL 2008-02-13 11:05:45
"The full list of weapons seized from Sussex schools in 2006/7 2006: Books, a ruler, an extendable baton, a day planner, piece of wood, eight knives or daggers, broken bottles, apple, metal bar, pen, a piece of plastic, three BB guns, a pencil, a pillow, two stones, an egg and tomato, a pencil sharpener blade, a baguette, a pen, a bag, a hammer, a coat, sticks, three air rifles, a gun, a piano stool and a xylophone."

All of these objects were used in assaults. Clearly, banning weapons doesn't stop the inherent violent tendencies that humans have. If you take away my gun, and I want to hurt someone, I'll beat them with a stick. Take away my stick, too, and I'll throw a rock.
