This incident illustrates the futility of statist efforts to outlaw weapons. As I understand it, Australia not only has extreme gun control, but also outlaws swords, slingshots, etc. But no matter how many laws are passed, criminals will find a way to hurt people--tools will always be needed: knives, axes, hammers, lug wrenches, etc.--and they can be used to maim and kill. The hammer was a medieval weapon--and can be used for murder.
