Same bias as yourself. I find it stunning that the British police are so proud of the pocketknives they confiscate.

Yeah it's weird to see butterknives on public sites being confiscated as they're clearly a dangerous weapon. But surprisingly knife crime is really low compared to most of the world (yes I mean America)

America has a violence problem. Take away all the gun violence and we're still worse than other developed countries.
