British police could seize kitchen knives if they believe the blades will be used to commit crimes, according to a proposal by U.K. authorities.

Britain’s Home Office also might ban some machetes and zombie-style, or decorative, knives, with harsher penalties for the sale and possession of the instruments, The Telegraph reported.

Those found responsible for moving such weapons — including belt buckle knives, butterfly knives and push daggers — could face up to two years in jail under the proposal. The current punishment is six months behind bars. “The thugs wielding these deadly knives aim to terrorize their victims and the public, and too often even carry out horrific or fatal attacks,” Home Secretary Suella Braverman said, per the newspaper. “They are emboldened by the cowardly idea that carrying these blades inflates their own status and respect.”

Good thing they got rid of guns

Wait, what I thought when guns didn't run around killing people, that there was no more killing? 🤔 I can hardly believe it!!!

Clowns.

You know, they used to have an empire. I wonder what happened. Now they've outlawed sporks and anything sharp, including words and corners.

Oh boy. What will be next. Garden utensils,pens, pencils? Only in England.

The Onion?

Couldn't they just go to the store and buy more with no background checks?
