This is wrong. It ignores children under 1 year old.

From the Wiki article :

“During 1993, the hardliners imported machetes on a scale far larger than what was required for agriculture, as well as other tools which could be used as weapons, such as razor blades, saws and scissors.[112] These tools were distributed around the country, ostensibly as part of the civil defence network.”

If only they had machete registration and control, so many lives would have been saved…

EDIT – (Should have added this, but no edit function yet.)

History speaks of what happens when guns aren’t present, and groups of people hate each other.

A rather graphic example was the Rwanda Hutu-Tutsi mass genocide, where sharpened machetes were used to hack each other to death… 🙁

Over one half million butchered with brush hacking tools…

This is yet another example of the Leftist Scum ™’s eternal, misguided, and outright dangerous (if not literally lethal) belief in “Magical Thinking”.

You know, the belief where they imagine a world without guns, (if only they could do it), that mass violence will simply disappear and everyone will be nice to each other.

Yes, they really are that fucking stupid… 🙁

Unfortunately for Nina, people don’t actually live in the world of her “piles of public health research” with the numbers always supporting the anti-gun bias and are always debunked by actual independent researchers. “Women believe it. People of color believe it. Young people believe it” because over 6,000 times daily across the United States its proven to be true… ya know, those over 6,000 times daily defensive gun uses across the United States that your “piles of public health research” deliberately leave out.
