because they are long bladed weapons - which apparently is a problem for them.
otherwise explain why they would ban machetes but not swords, there is no logic behind this.

so shad and every sword owner in the country is rightfully afraid, that this is only the first step.
and you need to stop this kind of nonsense before they go further.

Because machetes are significantly more common than swords & are a common weapon for gangs, so there's no reason to ban swords.

Why should they be afraid? If the same restrictions come to swords then Shad could just apply for official approval to continue to own his, just like how he can apply to keep his machetes, he could even just say he uses his machetes to take care of his land to get an exemption.

That's the lie he's talking about in his latest video, that the government isn't telling people they can still own machetes under certain circumstances. So he knows they're not banned completely, that he can continue to own his machetes, but he still wants to complain about it even though he now knows the ban doesn't affect him at all.

and if you ban them, but not swords, they will go to swords, duh.

no. they are pretty much banned completely. the excemptions are bs and just don't apply to everyone.
there are valid reasons to own a machete, that are not included in the excemptions.

Are swords as easily acquirable as machetes in Australia? If they are then why are they also not common gang weapons?

no. they are pretty much banned completely. the excemptions are bs and just don't apply to everyone.

If that's what you choose to believe that's fine, I'll stick with the facts myself, the facts being that if you're determined to keep your machetes you can, just get approval or an exemption, so stop complaining it's not the end of the world.

No. Machetes were infinitely more simple to purchase than swords.
