In a bid to tackle what President Emmanuel Macron described as “a senseless surge of violence,” the French government will issue a decree “within 15 days” banning the sale of knives to minors.

Presumably when they say they’ll ban sales to minors, they don’t mean they’ll go and remove knives from kitchens. They mean they’ll make cashiers check the age of customers they suspect might be under 18 when selling them a knife. The same as booze and cigs.
And, like “booze and cigs” (how American!), kids who need a knife will just grab one out of the kitchen as they head out the door.
There are a thousand legitimate reasons for young people to own and learn to use knives. Banning sales after one incident is a ridiculous overreaction that’s simply political posturing. I expect better of Europe
Right, yeah, they’ll grab one as they head out the door. But they won’t be able to just go and buy one.
There are a thousand legitimate reasons for young people to learn to use knives, under adult supervision. Adults who can buy knives.
Not sure I understand your criticism of me saying “booze and cigs” though, what’s wrong with that? Lol
