I would be more inclined to think south of the border types.

absolutely, particularly assualt machetes or tactical ones, they are super dangerous and scary looking. did you see those black machetes, patently racist...

we should also limit the number of machetes you can legally have and ensure you have the mental capability to own such a deadly device

also sharpening blocks, or sometimes called sharpening clips, we shoud limit those as well.

finaly anyone in school waving their arm ‘like a machete’ well they obviously need metal checkups.

think of the childrem people, think of the children!!!!!

What do they expect given Arkansas’s notoriously lax machete control laws? No background checks, no waiting period, no one-machete-per-month law...

They already have England as an example. Knife control fully ‘fleshed out’ and ready to go here.
