WINNIPEG — The Manitoba government is looking to tighten the rules around the sale of machetes, swords and other long-bladed weapons.
A bill now before the legislature would restrict the sale of such weapons to people over 18 with photo identification.
In May, a 23-year-old man was charged with robbing another man inside a gambling lounge while armed with a machete. Fines for individuals who break the rules would be as much as $5,000 for a first offence. A corporation would face fines up to $25,000.
