I believe in the UK there are laws about buying and owning sharp knives. Even kitchen knives sold in the UK have blunt, rounded points. Scissors with sharp points can be just as lethal as any dagger.

If they are going to ban kitchen knives with sharp points it is easy to see why they would regulate the sale of sharp scissors.

In the U.S. there are many laws on the books about the owning of various type of knives. Some of these laws are Federal, other are State or local. It is difficult to find out what is OK or not because

most law enforcement agents are not completely sure of all the laws themselves.
