You can make one with an angle grinder and about half an hour. This is dumb.
Absolutely carrying them around town should be illegal, but they are super useful in rural settings.
If you ban the tool, people who legitimately use the tool are harmed, and the people who abuse the tool will just find something else.
It's not like it's banned across Canada. They will still be available elsewhere on the island even.
This is just as dumb as local city and state gun laws in the US. Gun nuts point at them and point out how they don't work. Like no shit they don't work when you can just drive for 20 mins and get one.

Victoria is kind of like a Canada of Australia, you're all good 🤣
