Makes sense. In the UK, they banned guns. Something had to be done.
Then they saw an epidemic of knife crime, so they banned many types of knives. Something had to be done.
Then folks started assaulting each other with
pint beer glasses, and something had to be done. They considered mandating plastic glasses.
When folks start beating each other with tire irons, rolling pins, and lawn gnomes, something will have to be done.
That, or they could try looking at the root causes of violence, such as unemployment and alcoholism, and...oh, who am I kidding. It's easier to just ban stuff. For the wee drunken children and all...
