Never bring a machete to a gunfight.

The MS-13 gang members are just misunderstood. They had bad childhoods. They were not breast fed. /sarcasm off

The article seems kinda alarmist, like the country's on the verge of a machete epidemic. Plently of things that can be used to hurt or kill a man are sitting in the average garage, or can be had for next to nothing.

One jurisdiction that is wrestling with machete problem is Fairfax County, Va. Note to fellow Virginians: Virginia is a "shall issue" State. BLOAT. Get in some trigger time at Blue Ridge Arsenal, the NRA range, etc. Glock-fu beats machete-fu.

I grew up around them. And I don't think they are very intimidating.
To: Travis McGee
I have a nice machete I got in the Philippines, but it is parked in preference to much more effective deterrents against machete wielding gangs.
Illegals repellents abound in many happy calibers, sizes and shapes. It is sometimes good to support diversity, of repellent tools.

About a year ago I needed to buy one of these to clear some brush. I was amazed that neither Lowe's or Home Depot carried them.
When a manager told me they were afraid of the liability, I asked when will they discontinue selling hammers and chainsaws?
Anyways, I found a smaller, local merchant to take my money.

Yeah, but it's a pretty sad indictment of our society when one seriously has to consider packing when going to see a movie, or to a mall, or whatever.
