Deadly weapon. I sentence you to 10 to life in the tower.
Anything can be a deadly weapon. Pillow cases, plastic bags, charcoal, matches, rope, string, even newspapers.
Yes, you can kill someone with a newspaper.
I'm not saying that people need personal nukes to feel safe, but a pistol or rifle shouldn't be banned.
I used to carry a six inch hunting knife for work around the farm. That is banned under your new(ish) laws. I also used to carry it to school and to town because it was part of my daily kit. These days I feel naked without my Vitorinox Tinker (that's a pocket knife.) But that hunting knife once saved my life against a nasty dog. You do still have dogs in England right?
Oh, wait, they could be considered deadly weapons. |
