Machete crime waves
Gangs are turning to machetes, and Massachuetts legislators want to ban the blades.
[Hat tip to Don Kates, who points out that what with the death toll of the Rwandan genocide, the machete may have the highest civilian death toll of any weapon]

I think the Roman Gladius has it outmatched by a few million, actually...
Looks like Diversity is working: they are successfully turning us into a third-world nation. Pray for America.
Those new Ronco assault Machetes are only designed for killing people as noted in the number of poor Rwandan's killed by them. Maybe we need to limit the purchase of them to one machete a month and see how that works?

I propose a 7-day "cooling" period on the sale of new machetes as well as closing the loophole on sales at machete shows.
The commies are working hard to "solve" the "problem":
AN ACT RELATIVE TO THE POSSESSION OF A MACHETE
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1.
Subsection (b) of section 10 of chapter 269 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2002 Official Edition is hereby amended by inserting after the word “inches”, in line 67, the following word:- , machete.
SECTION 2. Said subsection (b) of said section 10 of said chapter 269, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by adding the following paragraph:-
For purposes of this section, “machete” means “a heavy knife at least 18 inches in length and having a blade at least 1.5 inches wide at its broadest measurement. This subsection shall not apply to carrying a machete on one’s person or in a vehicle if the machete is carried for the purpose of cutting vegetation or if the machete is being transported for the purpose of cutting vegetation. In a prosecution of a violation of this subsection, there shall be a permissible inference that such carrying of a machete is not for the purposes of cutting vegetation. Such presumption may be rebutted.
Any individual who requires a machete for the purposes of cutting vegetation shall register the machete with the local police department on an annual basis and, upon payment of an appropriate annual registration fee as determined by the local granting authority, shall be issued a permit authorizing him to possess the machete solely for the purposes of cutting vegetation.
NO GUNS,NO MACHETES,NO KNIVES, MORE ABORTIONS, MORE QUEERS AND MORE OBAMAS YEA THAT WORKS FOR ME!
That makes it easy...if I see a machete in a gangster's hand, I will immediately draw my carry gun and point it at him. If he decides to bring that machete to my gunfight, that will be his problem.
Center of mass, half the magazine, close with the associates, point at them, tell them they are getting off at the next stop. The motorman will call the cops....
