The other day, on a quiet suburban Toronto street, someone hacked a man to death with a machete. It's possible you missed the story, because it got barely a mention in the local media.
Machetes are not top of mind with the public. Nobody is demanding stricter controls on machete sales. On the other side, nobody is defending responsible machete owners from meddlesome bureaucrats.
Margaret Wente admits she personally hates guns, but she is at least intellectually honest enough to admit "tougher gun laws don't seem to make a difference," and that the arguments of the antis are not founded in logic.
