I do not think machetes are the problem, but you do you.

You answered your own question. There hasnt been a series of golf club attacks in winnipeg for the last 30 years. Silly goose.

Sure are a lot of attacks with other weapons.

"In order to curb violence, he said there needs to be more social supports, job opportunities, anti-violence training and community support."

When you are the number 2 province in homicides, restricting individual items that are used as weapons is a colossal waste of time and resources. Silly goose.

You wanna know what Manitoba’s ‘legal’ restrictions on the purchase of long-bladed weapons are? You have to be 18 yrs old with photo ID (source). That’s it.

Yes, I already knew that and there is nothing wrong with that.

That is because they are outdoor sporting items that basically every single person should carry when going into the wilderness along with other survival equipment.

Tell me how that safeguards people from machete attacks that have been occuring in Winnipeg for over 30 years.

"The new provincial rules, which came into effect Dec. 31 and only apply to in-store sales, require businesses to sell the items only to adults with photo identification, and to keep records of their sales for two years."

Tell me how the new law safeguards people from machete attacks, and then explain why baseball bats, pocket knives, kitchen knives, golf clubs, scissors, etc, etc, etc aren't being restricted in the same way for "safety" reasons when all of those items are commonly used in attacks.

The entire Yukon territory has about 45,000 people, with 3/4's of the population living in the Capital of Whitehorse.

Abortion access is non negotiable, but one location is sufficient for a total population less than 45,000 where less than 22,500 people would ever require the service.

Performative legislation to restrict the sale of machetes and other long blades which are already restricted in Canada while not restricting other sporting good items more commonly used as weapons that aren't currently restricted.

What a colossal waste of time and resources.

Hahaha yeah the philosophy of free will is solved and you can just Google it

Show me where I said that.

That’s not a mature argument

Learn what an argument is because I haven't made one.

feels like a very reddit interaction, this doesn’t belong on lemmy imo

Your comment is more useless than the one demanding "proof" of something that isn't proven either way, and very much adds to the "Reddit" vibes that in your opinion do not belong here.

I guess you should see yourself out by your own standards eh?

Yeah, no.

You can go ahead and produce the "proof" you have that humans have free will because I am not wasting my time being your search engine on something that has been heavily studied. Especially when I know nothing I produce will be understood by you simply based on the fact that you are demanding "proof" free will does not exist when there is no "proof" that it does in the first place.

I tend not to waste my time sourcing Scientific material for unscientific minds.

You mean like Gould?

A religious organization is opposed to the existence of, and accused of harassing, someone who was not born their current sex? Even though there is no scientific basis for their "concerns"?

Pardon my lack of shock.
