Never bring a machete to a gunfight.

(Somebody had to say it.)

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.

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.

When it becomes harder for law-abiding citizens to obtain firearms for their personal protection, criminals don't even need to go to the trouble of obtaining their own guns to terrorize citizens. A $10-$20 machete is sufficient when you're reasonably sure that no one you're threatening is carrying. You can thank the gun grabbers for this new development. If all guns were outlawed, then criminals would use machetes and knives. If sharp objects were outlawed then criminals would use rocks and clubs.

When they outlaw machetes only outlaws will....

This is too much. Instead of focusing on the very real problem posed by MS 13 and its young affiliates, they want to focus on --get ready for it--

A TOOL.

Don't blame me when they come for Black & Decker.

An armed citizen with a .357 or a 9mm can out-intimidate a machete carrying thug anyday.

This smells of a new push by the 'progressives' for new weapons laws in attempt to regulate and ban knives by the tried and true incremental method.

All in all, this is some pretty good writing. I don't agree with her, but I can appreciate her skill as a wordsmith. As I read this, I'm really drawn into the narrative; I can practically smell the urine as she wets herself in fear of the dreaded Noche de los Machetes.
