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.

    When i was a child, we would always go to the south of france on vacation. That was also the place where i got all my mall ninja shit from. I wasn’t used to stores or markets where you could just buy a machete and a butterfly knife as a 10 year old. Also fireworks. I completely understand the ban, and i still absolutely love some good knifes, it’s just expensive knifes now.
