Pull Quote>>"Fifteen people were murdered in the capital, against 14 in New York. Both cities have almost exactly the same population.

London murders for March are also likely to exceed or equal New York’s. By late last night there had been 22 killings in the capital, according to the Metropolitan police, against 21 in the US city.<<<<

They will be implementing strict knife control. No kidding, knife control.

Actually they already have knife control.
Many types of knives (butterfly knives, switchblades, knives disguised in everyday objects, for example) as well as other similar weapons (swords, throwing stars, and batons) have been outlawed outright. Only pocket knives can be purchased by anyone younger than 18 or carried around. Exceptions are made for weapons used for work or teaching purposes, or of religious or cultural significance.

Fist control is next. Everyone will have padded gloves surgically attached to their hands at birth. If it saves just one life, it's worth it.
