Or may I ask, arn't there already laws about using sharp pointy things in public?

Quote:
ANOTHER SYMPTOM OF THE SAME DISEASE: An editorial in the British Medical
Journal has a vital, urgent suggestion for the improvement of public
health: pointy kitchen knives must be banned to "reduce knife crime."
Laws must be passed, the authors say, to require blunt, rounded knife
tips because of a recent rise in stabbings. In the U.S., even the most
rabid gun-control advocates ridiculed the proposal. "Can sharp stick
control be far behind?" sneered a spokesman for the Brady Campaign to
Prevent Gun Violence. But the editorial's authors are serious. They say
they polled 10 English chefs and "none gave a reason why the long,
pointed knife was essential." (New York Times) ...Insert obligatory
joke about the inability of the English to cook.
