Sicktoria actually bans machetes now!

[womble]

I wonder if we get a buyback scheme.
I would assume so.

[bigrich]

Don't know if any of you guys follow Avi Yemeni from Rebel News at all, but he's a champion. he's not scared of anybody, my kind of bloke.
He sums up the problem of Victoria, Victorians and the stupid laws now just enacted... when the ones already that rightly make chopping or stabbing people illegal - yet the judges just let the imports go.
Maybe via their chambers after the trials....

The mind boggles that these germs actually think that the public are fooled. That they are actually doing something in protecting the people.

But there's a long history of politicians deliberately looking down on the people as morons and being supported again at the next ballot box by the same people.
Why do anything but rape them for every bit left.

The people are morons though. They keep voting for the same two parties that keep on raping them year after year.

99% of voters do not focus on politics and are stupid. Every aspect of peoples life are impacted by politics yet they pay no attention.

Your spot on

"One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors"

Plato or Socrates or one of those Greek blokes said that over 2000 years ago. The human psyche has not changed a single bit since then. If anything it is probably worse since then.

Sometimes , actually often police know who the grubs are and where they live but they can’t necessarily charge them a lot of the time If during a raid a cop finds a machete under the bed he can be charged. Your grandmother who has one in her garden shed is not going to be hunted down and prosecuted.. I tend to think of it as a law they need and they can enforce it when applicable. I’m ok with the law.

I can't believe someone on here would actually say they are ok with this law. No wonder the country is in such decline. When this does nothing except watse tax payers money and restrict freedom of citizens, shall we move on to banning baseball bats, kitchen knives, axes, hammers etc? Fair Dinkum society as a whole is that far removed from reality if I'm hearing this on a firearms forum.

I agree. Anyway they will just make them or buy interstate.

But I can see where blr243 is coming from.

The real answer is to bring back the triangle along with a public whipping. Works in Singapore.

Just give us your semi autos that's all we want and we will leave you alone.

30 years later...

Just give us your knifes that's all we want and we will leave you alone.

[alexjones]

30 years from now?

Just give us your scissors that's all we want and we will leave you alone.

60 years from now.

No boxing or MMA training allowed.

[Wapiti]

You blokes talking about the voters getting what they deserve are spot on.

But even here with members, I see comments about the alternatives that just prove what you are saying. One prolific poster described Pauline Hansen with a childish "eeeech" or something along those lines.

If only their juvenile, populist decisions affected only them. But so often, they don't even understand where their decisions are taking them, let alone everyone else.

It isn't just machetes that have been banned. According to today's papers, the measures impose an interim ban on the sale of cutting edge knives with a blade longer than 20 centimetres, excluding kitchenware. That definition captures a lot more than machetes.

[womble]

Amnesty as from sep 1

Still no word on buyback scheme.

Government has to pay you a fair price if it seizes your property

That's what I thought. My impression is it didn't happen in WA.

Does it include scimitars ?

It’s in our constitution. I’m not joking. I have some expensive blades.

That being the case I would agree.

[womble]

I’m emailing the crap out of them.

“I’m not a member of an African gang. How will this ban affect me ?

[Wapiti]

So the refugees can still use kitchen knives longer than 20cm?
Aren't they intelligent enough to realise that they exist? Oh no!

If this wasn't so pathetic it would be p*ss funny.

Are there f***wits out there that still trust any of these (censored) to be in charge of anything whatsoever?

[noneyabussiness]

Like letting the village idiot run the place....

must be , look at the state of victoria

Tbh it’s just smoke and mirrors to keep the conversation away from bail laws.

All the shopping centre culprits have now been caught and all are out on bail.

I don’t believe an individual who wants to hack up other individuals in public with a machete should not be considered a risk to the community.

These are very dangerous people.

And no they’re not immigrants or refugees. Just more smoke and mirrors but different agenda.
These kids are locals.

This is what happens when a government has no viable opposition. They don’t have to do anything.

This can lead people taking the law into their own hands, rightly or wrongly. Me thinks I will keep my Glock in the glovebox
just in case. (stupid way of thinking eh, but that appears to be the way our society is heading.

The idiotic politicians are looking at banning machete in qld now

[womble]

Had zero effect in Victoria

We've had a machete gang fight in a shopping centre since and a machete attack at a service station.

Still no suggestions of locking up the people wielding the machetes.

don't be silly womble , you need to inconvenience and restrict the 99% of people who do the right thing instead of dealing with the criminals .

i hear their debating it in parliament. i reckon auntie pauline and the katter in the hat will weigh in on this one . machete's are a bit more common up here in qld than vic , especially in FNQ .
i have a tomahawk in my fourby that just lives in it for when i'm out bush . will i no longer be able to have one in the future cause f@ckwit politicians won't do their job properly and legislate to lock up criminals who carry these things in public to intimidate people

[Beno]

My old man and i have some beautifully designed machetes that were made in England. We used them occasionally in the bananas but cane knives were better for banana work from memory. What is the substitute?

Victoria needs to break off from the mainland and float away. We don’t need that rot to spread north.

[womble]

Well the problem is Beno,
if we allow you to own a machete how do we prevent you from joining an African gang and attacking people with it in shopping centres.

[Wapiti]

Maybe sone of us can prove a genuine need, get a PTA, stamp a serial number on the one we have and store it safely with our guns.

As with all criminal scum, they don't need to obey stupid laws, because the judges let them straight out again. Via a short stay in the judges chambers, allegedly.

[womble]

I really can’t wait for the buy back .
Look at the prices on these things now.

FMD if I had of known about an upcoming ban i would have brought in a container load and retired of it.
Politicians are such a pita that ideally you want to elect the dumbest person you can.
This woman deserves some sort of award for being dumb as s**t.

This is quite possibly a bigger clusterf*ck than 96

We’ve literally just increased the armoury of every person in Victoria who has bad intentions to harm others. Now they all want a prized machete for gang status. And they’re willing to fork out 300 bucks for army surplus. Because they’re worried it will be harder to get one. Gotta be the bad boy with the machete to impress the girls now.
