Man thinks there’s no legitimate use for machetes has never done a days hard work in his life (being a Tory councillor).
No doubt funded by the makers of the Swiss Army Knife.
What if I had a small business that focused on making good quality machetes for actual proper tree cutting use, but didn’t have the reach to sell anywhere but online? A niche case sure but still a point to be made nontheless.
A broken mop handle would’ve worked to the same effect. Maybe there’re more obvious factors at play that should be addressed?

>The consequences of my parties and my action are not supposed to happen to me
Consider how long machetes – and even mopeds – have existed in this country.
Consider how recent the fuss about masked machete moped men is.
Then resign yourself to more moronitude from our political class, including the spouting of gubbins such as:
> “This has to stop. There is no legitimate use for these weapons. We banned flip blades, we banned samurai swords, now we need to ban machetes.”
Did you ban rapiers too, you smarmy little so-and-so? Perhaps if you’d had one, you’d not have been so emasculated in front of your fiancée.
The fact is, you’ve already banned *everything* for which intent can be proven that it was carried with the purpose of “injuring” another, with ’emotional damage’ counting as ‘injury’ – so if a wannabe mugger develops a ‘persistent low mood’ after your thwarting his attempt to rob you, and one of the near-omnipresent ‘smart’ devices recorded a snippet of you saying, as you purchased a book with which you fended him off, that you elected for the hardback over the paperback just in case of such a scenario… you’re for it!
I suspect you and your ilk will be terrorised on the regular until you stop trying to take things away from decent people and start taking the human refuse off our streets.
I can’t think of a single reason someone needs to legitimately own a machete.
Oh wait… I forgot, all that coconut husking I do each week… my bad.
Because that will obviously stop illegal possession and use.

So they will just use some other type of knife. Ban all the knives, they can just use wooden clubs. Can’t outlaw wood.
The cunts attacking people with machetes are the problem, but dealing with them require people and resources and no one wants to spend those.
What we going to do after we ban them start banning axes?
moronic, he must seriously have a lack of imagination if he thinks this will deter attacks
I mean I kinda get the idea. But some of us don’t live near decent shops for buying this kind of thing. B&Q hardly sells the best quality axe brands either.
Don’t agree to this but may not be against some better way to manage orders for 18+ products. But delivery drivers should probably face the same punishments as someone in retail would for giving age restricted products to someone underage.
I’d like to propose a ban on online and in person sales of butter knives, the age old adage of “dull as a butter knife” was a lie and cutted myself.
Politicians love treating symptoms, but not the actual problems.
Why not invest in the police instead and reverse the cuts his party created?
So today on this sub we’ve had an article about animals being given up to shelters and there were comments calling for tighter control on pet ownership including “affordability checks”.
We also have this article where the comments are against tighter regulation on selling machetes…. Online, including one suggesting it would be “unfair” to people unable to access a shop in person.
Makes sense
Having seen machete attacks, they’re an absolutely brutal weapon. I’m still surprised they’re in the UK, honestly thought they were more useful for the jungles…

And that will stop it won’t it? Idiot.
Sure, treat the symptom not the disease.
