Germany Considers 6cm Knife Ban Amid Stabbing Surge

As the number of knife attacks continues to rapidly grow in Germany, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has proposed a stricter knife-carrying ban than the one already in place. Critics argue, however, that an even stricter ban will not hinder perpetrators, mostly migrants, from committing heinous crimes, and the state should instead focus its efforts on putting a stop to illegal immigration from Africa and the Middle East.
