Britain to limit acid sales after steep rise in assaults

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Britain will limit sales of sulphuric acid and outlaw the sale of such corrosive substances to children after a spate of assaults and its possible use to make bombs, interior minister Amber Rudd said on Tuesday.

Much to public alarm, the number of incidents where assailants have used acid has risen sharply, with police figures suggesting there had been more than 400 corrosive substance attacks in the six months to April this year.

Many victims were left with serious, life-changing injuries as a result.

The proposed new laws will make it illegal to sell the most harmful corrosive substances to under-18s while the carrying of acid in public without good reason will be banned.

1. I Find This Story Hysterical

We have Massacre after Massacre after Massacre after Massacre after Massacre after Massacre after Massacre....and we can't do a thing about guns.

There is a rise in acid attacks, which cause life-changing injuries, not Certain Death.....and they manage to change their laws to help.

We are a fucking pathetic country.
