why are children allowed to buy serrated carving knives in the UK?

Because why not? Is it really more dangerous than a kitchen knife?

>>78095468
Because they can't buy guns.

hahaha the country is so safe people get upset over serrated knives


>b-but the terrorist attacks
>b-but all the durkas!!

You don't have to be safe to be hysterical.

This isn't a news story. Some random, slightly overprotective mother was shocked her kid bought a knife? Okay...?
No surprise it's in a paper they can't even give away for free

>buying kitchen knifes without license
Clearly never been in Bongland

Why have they done this?

>>78099538
nanny state

>>78099538
Because young people are more likely to be retarded with a sharp object.

But what is wrong with this?

I cut myself with a knife when I was a wee lad. I learned not to fuck with knives. If I had been dumber I would have ridded the gene pool of more retard children that kill themselves with knives. Hopefully my children will also pass the knife test of life.

>>78099633
Yeah, that's the issue. A law not allowing kids to buy actual knives is fine, what the Brits actually have in effect is absolutely retarded.
>>78099851
But did you buy said knife or was it just a kitchen knife in your house? Most kids by a certain age should/will learn thru actual experience that pans are hot for a reason, to be careful pouring a drink, and that knives are sharp and can cut them.

>>78099597
That's too much coddling.

too bad murrica (well, most states in murrica) is on the other end of the retard spectrum

>I need my government to restrict my freedom because I'm retarded

>>78101487
I'm talking about kitchen knives. You know, the ones you cut food with.

>>78101688
Your government is way more restrictive than mine on most accounts, just not on weapons. Then again, your murder rates are way higher than ours, so I'm quite willing to take that trade.

>>78101697
Well then I agree with that and like I said to the other anon, the Brits went full retard with this.
