I found out that England and Wales have this anti knife campaign going on, even aggressively posting signs in public areas. As I understand it, it's to threaten young people with prison time for carrying knives like most here have probably made a habit of since their early teens.

Please consider the absurdity of this, and understand just how important your actions as an open carrier are. Even if you don't open carry regularly or at all, even just being a gun rights activist or armchair supporter helps prevent the spread of statist idiocy like this. This type of crap can happen ANYWHERE if people will allow it. :uhoh:

It is a great lesson in what happens when people get lazy apathetic and stupid, and let their country go to hell in a hand basket. Many of our states aren't too far off from this either.A new advertisement program is launched in UK. This program is aimed at turning young people away from knife crime. In this campaign, posters showing youngsters behind bars alongside the slogan ‘Carry a Knife and Lose Your Life’ will be displayed at bus stops across England and Wales. Also, TV and online adverts will include accounts from young people held in young offender institutions warning of the dangers of getting involved with knives. Now it remains to be seen how effectively does this slogan help change teenage violent mentality? Read more: http://debate.instablogs.com/entry/...campaign-rid-uk-of-knife-crime/#ixzz0rDx36gWk
