This is, of course, because Britain's politicians have now made the absurdly ridiculous move to call for the banning of what Reason magazine called "the most useful tool ever invented" - the knife.

If British authorities have been unable to block criminals' access to firearms—mechanical devices that require some basic mechanical skill to manufacture, or at least a 3D printer—how are they going to cut off the flow of knives, which require nothing more than a piece of hard material that can take an edge?

MEANWHILE BACK AT THE RANCH:

Toronto's infamous "cloak of invisibility" shooters strike again...
A man has died of his injuries nearly two days after he was shot multiple times outside a Scarborough residence, Toronto police say.

The victim has not yet been identified by police. Investigators are still working to identify a suspect.

UPDATE: Meanwhile, over at "Not the CBC"...
Early Tuesday morning, Toronto police confirmed that the victim died in hospital Monday. He has since been identified as Lawrence Taylor Gannon.

The suspect is described as a man in his mid-20s, with dark brown skin. He has a thin build, stands five-foot-eleven and was clean shaven.
Toronto’s 20th homicide of 2019.
