I am a dual citizen with the US and UK and spend alot of time in England. There is a big problem there with knife related attacks. They happen alot in pubs and clubs when the alcohol gets mixed in and everyone is carrying a knife. My cousin was stabbed last year at a club when he got into a fight and a friend of his was murdered 2 years ago on a beach in south england when he got into a fight with some people who stabbed him to death.

The funny thing is that my relatives and friends in the UK always give me crap about owning guns and living in a gun society, yet I tell them I feel alot safer going out on the town at night in the States than I do in the UK. Oh, and what is the first thing they want to do when they come states side to visit? Hit the gun range of course...
