One machete crime every 90 minutes on [gun-free] Britain's streets - PeterD - 04-24-2018
In February, 20-year-old Sadiq Aadam was hacked to death in Belsize Park, north London...
What a way to go, in such a civilized forward thinking country.

PeterD:
If you are going to post something like this, you need to say why.
And the topic of criminals finding other tools to kill people with has been the topic of about ten other 2A threads already.
You are not telling us anything we don't know.

JASmith says you should not be singling out the instrument of the crime because it takes away the focus from the problem, that there was a crime. You are engaging in a machete propaganda ploy.
Quote:One more time, Stan, singling out firearms with the false implication that they are solely reaponsible for the killing is a propaganda ploy.
One seriously unfortunate side effect is that we see very little effort devoted to addressing the human factors leading to the violence.
In other words, we need to better protect the 2nd Amendment by pushing to understand the causes and indicators of murder by ANY INSTRUMENT — not just guns.

I took it as, just as the machete is not the problem, guns are not the problem.
So, it does direct attention away from guns and toward crime.
