For purposes of this section, “machete” means “a heavy knife at least 18 inches in length and having a blade at least 1.5 inches wide at its broadest measurement.
Any individual who requires a machete for the purposes of cutting vegetation shall register the machete with the local police department on an annual basis and, upon payment of an appropriate annual registration fee as determined by the local granting authority, shall be issued a permit authorizing him to possess the machete solely for the purposes of cutting vegetation.

Machetes should be treated like any other weapon. When it is on a belt or being used for some lawful purpose, no problem. When it is being brandished or swung at another human, time to intervene. We dont need new laws for this.
meh....... Falcatas are WAY cooler than machetes.
Aren't they confusing us with *insert African country here*?
I'm the only guy in this room, that I know of, that's professional enough to handle a machete.

You must NEED (and somehow demonstrate said NEED) a machete before they will GRANT permission to own or use one. Substitute "machete" with the name of any other tool and we see where this is going.Any individual who requires a machete for the purposes of cutting vegetation shall register the machete with the local police department on an annual basis and, upon payment of an appropriate annual registration fee as determined by the local granting authority, shall be issued a permit authorizing him to possess the machete solely for the purposes of cutting vegetation.
