Being unarmed they don’t count as citizens. A more accurate term would be subjects.

I’ve got one of those Wasp Kinves on order. I am thinking that I should have ordered two or three, with the way you Brits seem to hate the thing. Of course, being a Yank from the Land of Dixie, I already have plenty of guns, ammo, and what y’all call “assault weapons”. Most of these things are just novelties. Same goes with this CO2-injecting Knife. Very cool concept, I just had to have one for my collection.

Hey, Brits, you do know that it’s fairly easy to make something similar – just use a spiked shank and drill a tiny hole lengthwise. Attach it to a handle with a CO2 canister and a punch button. I bet I could make something crude but similar in less than 3 hours.

You also know that old rail-road spikes can be be ground down into very tough and sharp daggers. I’ve got one of those too – bought it for $30 at a motorcycle rally. Stun gun plans are all over the internet – y’all could make your own stun guns too. I’m surprised more of you haven’t taken these measures to protect yourselves against all of those wacked-out criminals that are preying on your un-armed citizens right now.

Was this weapon funded by Gallagher, I knew it would get to the point where he just plain got tired of using sledge hammers.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term “cold steel.”

A sure cure for heart burn!

And Saif270…maybe the UK should ban knives, too. That should reduce knife crime! Course, then there would invariably be the gas-injecting, organ freezing bludgeoning weapons….

Honestly, the thing doesn’t seem very practical, considering the amount of work that has to go into releasing the gas. Anything that gets stabbed isn’t going to wait for the button to get muscled down.

For Bears? A handy tool for that pesky cub who is in an exuberant mood. But then, the sow takes exception, and while you are searching for the reload cartridge, well you’re toast and she’s just the butter for you.

Is it ok to carry it in the Bull Market?

Weapons are bad! Bears are good! I swim with the sharks all day. Now we don’t want to encourage others with flimsy excuses for their unmanaged anger to go around freezing the innards of those they paranoically blame for their own shortcomings!

That said… where can I buy one? It is a bear market. Oh, no wait, I’m not that smart. But I could def usa nif!

“Weapons, good for nothing good. Besides, leave bears and sharks alone and you won t need a weapon like this either.”

That would be convenient…except for the fact that bears and sharks consider you food.

If you’ve got a big knife and a big expanding gas ball inside of you, I really think you have bigger concerns than “frozen organs.”

To highlight this silliness, “frozen gas ball” is a contradiction in terms. You can have a really cold gas, but anything that’s frozen is, by definition, a solid. And its not like the cold is some inherent property of the gas, its just cold due to the adiabatic cooling that happens when any gas expands.

Sensationalist, fear-mongering garbage.

It’s the fucking Daily Mail, for god’s sake. That’s like worrying about news posted in World Weekly News, right wing, contrived, Chicken Little propaganda for the people who want to be scared by their news, not informed.

my favourite part about this article is that it’s filed under ‘just plain fun’

that made my morning.

Yeah — you probably wouldn’t want to kill anything else but a watermelon with one of these. Of course, if I got one of these in Gears of War 2, I wouldn’t complain.

I saw this last week in the paper and was going to blog about it but chose not to. Knife crime is such a big issue in the UK these days that I didn’t want to encourage anyone to think it was ‘cool’ and start researching how to get one…

Looks nice. A gun would be better for bears though… what a waste of 2 good watermelons.
