@freemo Lol, “melee weapons” is not a category on the same level as “handguns”. That’s not a fair comparison.

If you want to do “melee weapons” vs “ranged weapons”, that would work. Or likewise, “handguns” vs “pocketknives” would be comparable.

So now the argument becomes “this weapon is used to hurt more people than other more deadly weapons, so THAT is the reason it should be illegal.”

Yeah. Not illegal, but restricted for sure. If kids start murdering each other with katanas because it’s a meme on TikTok or some such bullshit, then, yes, restrict the sales of katanas until that bullshit dies down. You could make the same argument for AR-15s. Don’t ban them outright, but add an extra week of waiting period or a higher age limit so the dipshit radicalized young kids can’t get their hands on the meme rifle as easy.
