"In the Wrong Hands" Mk. 2

[Gaz]

I do hope so, we need at least a comprehensive certification system for hammers. you know ensure those who purchase them are fit and proper....

Certification or Deactivation..........

Hammer deactivation... cut the face at 45 degrees, render the handle incapable of supporting a full-power blow with holes drilled every 5mm?

ha now that's something I would love to see.
wouldn't cutting the face at 45 degrees make the top edge more dangerous and more able to penetrate flesh?

Oh and I read through your debate with "Matt the special constable" on Twitter Gaz! Fascinating and depressing in equal measures! He certainly is "Special" but not for the reasons he seems to think!

He did get a bit tetchy when you suggested better training for the police clapclap

A link to the debate via Twitter for those who want a laugh or cry!

Ha I know Matt from a forum (same avatar) and he is a cock I wouldn't trust him to make me a brew the prick

as for this story two words Press Officer

Anything gun shaped will have been seized- just because it's seized doesn't make it a gun but try getting that through a civilian press officer's thick skull it's an embarrassment

Too easy to reactivate Gaz, with all the antique Heads and Handles hanging around in sheds. One replacement head, one handle and five minutes in a car boot, your average Sun Reporter would soon reactivate one.

Oh, and of course, then you'd have the 3D Printer Hammer Factories to contend with!

Oh dear GAZ, that's just a sporterised, lightened and ported hammer: only assassins would use those.

No I can see all hammers being made of Gouda cheese, oh wait - that would mean a "use by date" on them so that would actually induce people to hammer things.

Might be worth buying hammers up NOW and having a wee trade in them when the ban comes in......Could sell them in pubs and via select FEO's etc...Question is, will they start by restricting nails first???? That's always a sign.

[HALODIN]

You might be on to something, they may buy up the world's nail supply...

Reckon B&Q will be limited to selling nails in 10's? What about screws? They're like nails...ish.

And while the banning of hammers and nails in the UK is going on, this from the US:

I also predict a flood of illegal hammers to the UK from the Continent.

Screws are rifled nails!

And them "Thor" things are just mallets up here.
