Idiots.


"U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) has proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening knives are not switchblades. The proposed new rule would not only outlaw assisted opening knives, its broad definition of a switchblade would also include one-handed opening knives and could be easily interpreted to cover most other pocket knives, even simple old-fashioned slip-joints."

And before long one will be forced to spread jam and jelly with a finger. It's for your own good. Wouldn't want someone getting spread to death with a butter knife.

Someone actually invented an "anti-stab" knife.

The knife is expected to sell for around £40-50 and has been tested with “very favourable” results by the Home Office’s Design and Technology Alliance -

I wonder what sort of people they got to volunteer for that study!

Butter Knife Robber Makes Court Appearance

The man Rapid City police say tried to rob a hotel with a butter knife could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.

Thirty-four-year-old Robert McKinney has made his initial court appearance on a first-degree robbery charge.

Magistrate Judge Shawn Pahlke granted McKinney more time to consult with an attorney.

Police say McKinney walked into the Howard Johnson Hotel in Rapid City on Sunday with a butter knife and demanded money from a clerk. The clerk refused.
