Comment on Sword-wielding man attacks passersby in London, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring 4 others
RobotToaster@mander.xyz 2 years agoWhen the next person uses a hammer, do you suggest we ban hammers?
Or when they ram their car into people, ban cars?

If someone had a car, specifically designed to injure, it would probably be banned. Swords are already banned for the most part.

For us old folks. Cars used to have mirrors mounted to the front bonnet. About half way down.
As those mirrors would puncher and sometimes kill people hit. They were banned at some 0oint in the 80s.
Sp even cars a cidently designed in a way that is unsafe. Are banned from production. And that is in the US as well.
