    In the US people like that use guns, because they’re so easily accessible. Elsewhere people use other weapons, notably a sword in this case. Banning the weapon is unlikely to stop the next rando attack.

    Opportunities like subsidized state mental health services and meeting someone’s basic human needs goes a long way in stopping someone from despairing so much that they attack randos on the street.

    Tories are groß capitalists who don’t care to have those needs met for anyone but themselves

      Banning the weapon is extremely likely to stop the next rando attack, and the next one and the next one and the next one…

      Then yes, someone will get a hold of a weapon and commit a crime, but dozens more were prevented

      GTFO with your excuses
