Perhaps because we haven't seen whole families hacked up with machetes in cold blood by gov't sanctioned roaming mobs? Perhaps because the US gov't isn't trying to starve out millions of its citizens?
Just a thought...
Not yet. Just burning them out of their private property. Just buldozing homes to increase tax revenues. Just putting people under seige because they chose to practice the 2nd with an "unapproved" weapon.
You're right tho', machetes haven't been used by roaming mobs of citizens.
