kanny 21,753 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 So how do we kill the zombies now? 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Another brilliantly ambiguous law enforced on us,it might effect anyone who collects knives on here. Some tactical knives have logos(or maybe even their brand name) which could suggest it's intended to be used for violence,and if it has a serated back and an edge on the front you can go to prison for selling it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Oh no ! The little yobs will have to get a knife out of the kitchen drawer now ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted August 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Oh no ! The little yobs will have to get a knife out of the kitchen drawer now ! 'the "vast majority" of knife crimes involved kitchen knives, but zombie knives had "suddenly become very popular as a sign of bravado in gangs".' Which obviously effects me in my low crime,99% white area. I'll feel much safer knowing that the apes will be more likely to kill each other with machetes than 'zombie knives' from now.

I don't really care about those stupid film style knives,just that it effects other types too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
