In the past, Second Amendment–supporters have joked that if guns are outlawed, people will just turn to knives. "What are you going to do? Outlaw knives?"

New Zealand has answered "yes!"

OAN reports:

Knives and scissors have been removed from supermarket shelves in New Zealand after a recent stabbing attack. Supermarket chain Countdown said on Saturday, a partial "knife control" would be in effect for several weeks to prevent stabbing attacks going forward.

This decision came after a Sri Lankan national injured six people at a Countdown location in Auckland last Friday. Authorities said the attacker was inspired by the Islamic State to carry out the attack. (snip)

Several other supermarket chains also removed knives from their shelves over the weekend. It remains unclear when this self-imposed "knife control" would end.

What's next? Banning rope because it can be used to strangle people?

Control was the point. It's easier when you have a huge homogenous peasant population that is conditioned from birth to obey their social superiors without question. And that samurai had the right to instantly kill any peasant the annoyed them on the spot and just walk away.

And if the pencil was thought to be a possible threat? Then yeah.

It’s so fucking stupid everybody has a right to defend themselves using anything and ones who want to control and feel threatened because they’re inferior and weak like the fucking Jew which is the one who is doing the banning and trying to take away guns because they know that they are physically inferior and they just want to murder children with this Jewish ritual murder needle and kill everybody like the vampires that they are to drink there and try to andrenochrome blood. We stop listening to their bullshit gun control we’ve stopped listening to their whiny ass fucking victimhood antisemite bullshit word that is transparent as fuck and it’s overused and finished all their whiny ass fucking bullshit tactics like blame shifting and gaslighting using the word conspiracy theory also transparent af. It’s it’s their natural tendency to whine and bitch oh you can’t that they they they put that they’ll put out one of these Muslim Nager’s running around with with a knife and then or shooting people and then they’ll say oh no we have to use that to take away your guns as an excuse with this bullshit that you Watch you’ll have some black as shit Muslim psychopath running around with a pillow and then they’ll say going to ban all pillows it’s fucking stupid
