European Union wants to control your life: EU plans to BAN 'strike anywhere' matches

in #informationwar6 years ago

EUROPEAN Union officials have sparked fury by introducing new rules to ban 'strike anywhere' matches.

The matches, which can be ignited against most surfaces, are being phased out to make them safer.

The controversial EU diktat, which came into force at the end of May, bans the sale of chemicals used to make the matches.

Swan Vestas, the best known brand, confirmed its 'strike anywhere' range was being discontinued.

The products are being replaced by safety matches, which can only be struck on the strip attached to the packet.

The unelected bureaucrats of the EU have decide to ban strike anywhere matches for your safety. EU regulations will soon ban the chemicals ingredients of strike anywhere matches. The real question I'd like to know is why they are doing this because all I could find on the health effects of Phosphorus sesquisulfide which is the main ingredient to make them strike anywhere is just a rash and loosing of the teeth. I assume you have to eat the Phosphorus sesquisulfide over a long period of time to effect your teeth.

Are really worried about people's health or just want to control people's lives by telling them what they can and can't use. I tend to believe its just a form of control

Health effects

Exposure to "strike anywhere" matches containing phosphorus sesquisulfide can cause contact dermatitis, usually in the pocket area but also on the face.[8] Exposure over a long period of time to burning match tips (containing phosphorus sesquisulfide) can result in a recurring severe primary dermatitis about the eyes and face. Loosening of the teeth has also been reported which may have been due to phosphorus poisoning.[9]

How To Reload Primers with Matches

Maybe the EU is scared of people making their own primers for firearms. Youtube forced King of Random to remove this video from his channel and thankfully someone reposted it to this channel.

Sort:  

Matches are a health hazard?

What about the Immigrants that rape 70 year old ladies, defecate on the street, throw acid in people's faces? Is acid still legal? Will they ban the pool supplies next- muriatic acid?

I wonder what companies actually make these matches? Did those companies not pay their bribes to stay in business? Or perhaps some politician gets his jolly rocker off sitting around drinking Scotch on The Rocks & trying to think of STUPID things to BAN, that will also Inconvenience the peasants.

Yeah don't ban any of the real problems in the EU. Of course that's their new voting block to stay in power.

Thank You!

thanks for the video!!! I've learned something there!

PS: for a SHTF scenario, the lee loader with the help of an hammer is pretty good, but won't work in semi-autos. But for an old 303, 6.5x 55 swedish, 30-06, 7.62x54r bolt action guns it does the job.

Fuck the EU.

Nigel Farage all the way.

I don't know why they ban the things that they do sometimes. They will ban these but people will still be able to buy all sorts of poisonous substances.

I wonder if they can be used to make crude explosives or something though. That would, at least, explain the ban a little better than saying "they are being banned for health reasons."

They make laws, it is what they do. If needed or not. (Same everywhere).
