    Clearly criminals who steal cars will DEFINITELY listen to this new law banning their tools.

      That said, this is the argument that gun-owning cowards use, so does it fall under the “How do we stop this happening, says only country in the world where this happens regularly” category?

      Probably a wise move to nip it in the bud

        A toddler won’t kill their sibling with this by accident.
