Wooden swords to be locked up.

A brittish drama group has seen itself obligated to store behind lock and key: two plastic cutlasses, six wooden swords and a toy gun, in order to fulfill the new regulations imposed on all of Brittains subjects concerning such items.
A "responsible guardian" must also be appointed to watch over these props.


This is all part of the crowns plan to curb street violence.

Do you feel safe already?

Expelled for having ... a butter knife

I'm all for keeping our schools safe, a zero tolerance policy on weapons can help, but there's limits even to zero tolerance.

"Butter Knife Leads To Student's Expulsion
Nicole Johnson, Live 5 News A teenager is expelled from school for bringing what the school calls a weapon on campus, the butter knife she used on her morning toast."

Seriously, what!? A butter knife? Poses more of a threat if used as a club for crying out loud.
