Matt Easton who has a YouTube channel, Scholargladiatoria, and is a sword and arms dealer in England, reports on the coming UK machete and large knife ban. The authorities, rather than dealing with what is clearly an immigration problem, takes the duct tape solution of banning the blades. Of course, if the abusers of blades are going to attack people, then are they really going to care about the blades being illegal? Hardly. Most knife abuses are not with machetes, perhaps less than two percent of attacks. Instead, disposable knives of convenience are used, such as cheap kitchen knives.
So, the bans are just like the gun bans, disarm and emasculate the already worked-over population. The idea is that the ordinary people will not even have a toothpick for self-defence.
