Notes: Why do you oppose common sense knife control, you bloodthirsty bigots? No one is coming to take away your knives, this would only affect those sharp, pointed assault knives that you don't need anyway.

"Dr Crichton […] is championing a switch to so-called “R”-bladed knives, which have rounded points and are far less effective as weapons. He said that research shows many attacks, particularly in households where there has been a history of violence, involve kitchen knives because they are so easily accessible. Dr Crichton believes a switch from sharp-pointed, long-bladed knives to the new design could save lives."
