You have guns, people use them for bad things, you severely restrict guns, people start using knives for bad, you severely restrict knives, people start using rocks or tire irons for bad… where does that end?

With the knives. Pretty obvious when you stop to think about it.

The sale of Knives are already heavily restricted in the UK and have been since like forever… in the real world. You work in a shop and you sell an age restricted item to somebody underage, you will probably lose your job and/or end up in court. The new problem is in part caused because underage people are able to bypass those laws intended to protect them and buy them online. This new law will close this legal loophole and make dangerous weapons very hard to access again.
