Do We Need Sandwich Control in Florida?

They're counting this as the second sandwich assault in Florida recently, but they're overlooking the cheeseburger assault earlier this month.
PORT ST. LUCIE — A 20-year-old welder accused of throwing a sandwich at his girlfriend and hitting the top of her head with his fist is facing a battery charge, according to a police report released Monday.

It's at least the second alleged sandwich attack in Port St. Lucie that sent a man to jail in about a month.

The recent incident reportedly happened Friday morning when Matthew J. Rubin, 20, allegedly hurled a sandwich at his 19-year-old girlfriend during an argument.

The girlfriend told police Rubin argued with his mother about renewing his car insurance, and he reportedly denied that she told him to do so. Rubin allegedly "snapped" when his girlfriend told him his mother did tell him about the insurance.
Clearly it may be time for background checks and five-day waiting periods before people are allowed to safely purchase sandwiches, as well as licensing and training on the dangers of sandwiches and how to safely handle them.

Do it for the children.
