It shows that gun control never stops at “assault weapons.”
Last week, the Australian state government of Victoria banned the sale of large knives after a violent gang fight in a Melbourne shopping mall. The brawl consisted of seven men wildly swinging machetes at each other. Since the event, all seven men have been arrested and charged.
Those arrested were all “known gang members and known to police,” according to a Victoria Police statement. Six of the seven were allegedly out on bail at the time.
