Its Thors-day today....so its 'hammer time' In West Belfast on Monday 10.30pm a man was approached by a number of men wearing balaclavas and was beaten with hammers.
The Uk's hammer culture is now under scrutiny. You can walk into any hardware store and purchase a hammer for quite a low price with no background check.
The casual availability in buying hammers has people calling for hammer control in a country in which most people have at least one in their homes.
This is not the first hammer attack nor while it be the last. Accessories such as balaclavas can also be easily bought at any sporting goods stores or (online) with the minimum of questions.
