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?
