Im not bothered personally if their sales go up or down, I'm just glad that there's one less place where you can openly purchase such weapons.

Just as well Woolworths has closed down then - think of all those kitchen knives that have been taken out of circulation...:rolleyes:

This policy is not solving the problem, it's simply moving it elsewhere. eBay are merely paying lip service to an issue that is not their problem. Knife crime is caused by a lack of social disorder, not the availability of weapons.

And what about car dealers? 3000+ a year die in car accidents, will they be the next thing that is banned....

Silly comparison, but I've highlight the important word there for you.

Craft knives, modelling knives, whittling blades, razors all now banned.

What next - cricket bats? Rope? Hammers?

...and sledges.

Lethal weapons if used without adult supervision.

Kitchen knives have become the most used weapons in teenage stabbings, the Metropolitan Police commissioner said.

About 200 blades have been seized and 210 people have been arrested in the past two weeks in a crackdown on knife crime, Sir Ian Blair revealed.

Speaking at Scotland Yard, Sir Ian said parents "must have conversations about knife crime with teenagers".

Fifteen teenagers have been killed in London so far this year, of which 11 were stabbed.

I wonder where they found the KITCHEN knives then...?

Good point about Axes though - like they've never been used as a weapon!!

If you want a knife you'll get a knife, simple as. Why dont they concentrate on the fact that young people now feel the need to carry a knife and dont give a s**t, doubt theyre spending all evening scouring ebay to get a great deal on a knife!
