Even though machetes are tools, they should be banned ... along with other dangerous implements like hammers, saws, glass cutters, trimmers, rakes, pitchforks, mowers, shovels and wood chippers!
They can pry my DR high wheel string trimmer from my cold dead hands...
You can make one from a car spring.
I think politicians should be banned.
Just handcuff everybody’s hands behind them & make them try to live life that way .... easier than banning EVERYTHING that can possibly be used to kill anybody. Then again, that will open the door for actions like stomping and biting someone to death. No sarc tag - what is going on now is more ridiculous than what I’m saying.
why stop there? just ban anybody from the park. that wills top killings.
a
stupid libs believe they can stop evil.
you cannot.
once again, these are emotions controlling common sense.
What about rocks and sticks? Those can be used as weapons. And while the idiots are at it, what about fists?
Liberals: When in doubt pass a new law.
I must be a mind reader, just got mine last week, in before the ban.
Maybe if their gun laws weren’t so onerous, the machete attacker would have been shot by someone with a concealed carry permit?
Don’t forget about meat cleavers.
...as opposed to calm and orderly machete attacks.
It is disturbing, said state Sen. Tony Avella, a day after a foreign tourist was slashed with an easy-to-get and hard-to-ban machete. They are deadly weapons, he said.
Hard - but not impossible to ban. I propose a three-day waiting period and background check before the machete permit is issued.
Oh, and no assault machetes!
Weedwacking is not a right!
I'm sure that the Liberals are disappointed that the foreign tourist wasn't a member of some protected minority - then they really could have had a field day!
Also: If the attacker had screamed, say, "Long live Mickey Mouse!", then community organizers and activists could decry Mickey Mouse hats as "offensive symbols of hatred" and demand that they be banned, too!

Pencil laws because of school stabbings.
What a PANSY.
They can have my Maquahuitl when they pry it from my gold dead hands!
My dad had this most incredible scythe. It had a two foot blade and a six foot handle. It, and a black blanket were all you needed for a perfect Halloween costume.
By a man with an arrest record a mile long.
Tougher machete laws?
How about we remove the invaders?
A woman beat her husband to death the other day with cans of food. Got to ban the can.
Obviously the machete was at fault just like the Confederate flag pulled the trigger in Charleston. Just another knee jerk reaction by a politician not willing to admit there are crazy people out there and that our government failed the general population by not recognizing it.
Criminals all over the USA will be turning in their weapons because
they're illegal.
FOOL!
