Article from 2019 — Before COVID turned Australia into a totalitarian police state nightmare.

“… strict knife laws protect everyone in the long run. And considering how stringent these weapons laws are, it would make more sense for anyone who wants to defend themselves to pick up self-defense techniques or learn martial arts instead.”

It's pretty clear by now (and should have been clear in 2019) that the opposite is true as criminals do not care how strict weapon laws are.

Criminals will carry knifes and sometimes guns no matter how stringent those weapons laws are. Criminals will break the law. Breaking the law is what defines a criminal.

Strict weapon laws make everybody less save as it turns law abiding citizens into defenceless victims.
