It's great to see all the outpouring of support for this, undoubtedly driven by a genuine concern for people's safety, great law proposal.
If I may summarize the suggestions, we should petition the esteemed Senator to include the following items on his ban list, along with machetes:
- baseball bats
- hammers
- 2x4 and any other piece of wood that can be held and swung with one or both hands
- glass bottles
- tire irons
- sticks and stones
- rebar, iron bar, iron angle, and basically any piece of metal that can be held and swung with one or both hands
- ice picks
- motorcycle chains
- any barbesque tool that has a sharp or pointed edge
- tent spikes
- hatchets
- meat cleavers
- dough rollers, especially the ones with marble cylinders
- ski poles
feel free to add to the list, I suggest someone more skillful than I should start a website where anyone could add their own deadly weapon idea to the list, we should send the Senator and his electorate the link along with a Thank You note.
