The Victorian government will ban the sale of machetes from Wednesday after a gang brawl at a shopping centre.
Two males were arrested and another was taken to hospital in a serious but stable condition after the incident at Northlands shopping centre.
If you ban the tool, people who legitimately use the tool are harmed, and the people who abuse the tool will just find something else.
It’s not like it’s banned across Canada. They will still be available elsewhere on the island even.
This is just as dumb as local city and state gun laws in the US. Gun nuts point at them and point out how they don’t work. Like no shit they don’t work when you can just drive for 20 mins and get one.
Edit: okay I got lost . I thought this was about the Canadian city of Victoria. Turns out it’s…not. I’m leaving this here as a monument of my stupidity.
Victoria is kind of like a Canada of Australia, you’re all good 🤣
You can still use it companies just can’t sell them anymore
And how are you going to get one in the first place?
