Knives should be legal to carry in the UK

We should have the right arm ourselves similar to the US. The right to defend oneself is probably the most important right you can have, I also kinda support the right to have a gun, I can see why it's a good idea but it has its drawbacks. But we should be allowed knives at least. I used to carry a switch-knife in my teens…

Knives

I think knives should not be legal to carry in the U.k. I myself have carried knives in the past and know people who carry knives regularly. Most of them sat that its for self defence purposes, however I think they are mainly carried for purposes of intimidation or intended use. Those who bring knives out for self defense will probably end up getting stabbed if they haven't done any self defense courses and if they where apprehended by people experienced with knives would probably end up getting slashed alot. There are some dangerous people carrying knives and paranoid idiots too. Personally I dont want the number of people carrying knives to increase.
