@gr8studenthelper By the way, I'm not the kind of kid who brings a knife to school to be cool. Very few people know I have one on me. I'm a collector actually but yeah.

@kodikbear I'm Canadian as well and trust me, in America the knife laws are much worse. For some states at least. Yes though, I do carry a knife at school for utility. I have had my principal talk to me about it and such and we rectified the situation and still, I do have a knife at school. There are NO knife length laws in Canada. Knife lengths must be interpreted by a police officer, if the knife is considered menacing or to be used in an assault it's a weapon and you'll be charged for it.

Ermmmm under the safe schools act you CANNOT be charged for having a pocket knife on your person. You are not aloud to carry a weapon under the safe schools act. The definition of a weapon under the safe schools act and under federal law does not include a pocket knife unless used, or has the intent to be used to inflict bodily harm. If I were to carry a pocket knife to school and use it for EDC tasks, it would be completely legal.

You clearly have no idea how the vests police officers wear work. Yes, knives penetrate through the vests the police wear bullets do not.

The armour is made with fibres that prevent blunt objects such as a bullet from passing through, while remaining light and flexible. A knife, slices through these fibres. Which is why armour piercing bullets have hard sharp points.

Don't be so quick to call others "FUCKING MORONS".

@420PotSmoke not quite some body armor is designed to stop a speeding projectile it acts like water if you shoot water with a high caliber bullet it will break apart if you drop a bullet it won't has to do with speed and the resistance of the material also many bullets are dull on the tip this knife however is quite sharp and is able to get between fibers

If you really want to decrease violence.

legalize marijuana as per the Senate recommendations.

This will take away funds from organized crime and gangs.

It will decrease police and government corruption.

It will increase the respect of kids for the law.

It will free up thousands of police

to go back to fighting REAL crime.

[Trolloc1986]

Yes because the cases of Police Brutality far exceed the amount of morons on the streets using murder weapons.

[kster45]
