The gun grabbers aren’t happy with banning guns anymore: they’re starting to come for other items they think are too dangerous for Americans to handle.
While conservatives often joke that liberals will start calling for knife control if they ever manage to prohibit gun ownership, it appears progressives didn’t get it. In fact, it seems New York legislators have decided to take this joke too far.
Voting 54 to 4, the state Senate passed a measure to make possession of a machete a criminal offense warranting up to a year in prison. The bill, officially titled S. 3199A, is now on it’s way to the Assembly, where it stands a good chance of passing.
Machetes are just the latest thing to be targeted by New York nanny staters. Switchblades, gravity and ballistic knives, daggers, metal and plastic knuckles and blackjacks are all classified as deadly weapons and thus heavily restricted in the state, to say nothing of the myriad regulations placed on firearms.

Freek’n state legislature idiots rising to their own level if incompetence. A machete is a “dangerous” weapons vs a deadly weapon. A deadly weapon is an implement designed to be a weapon aka gun, dirk, sword etc. a dangerous weapon is an implement /tool NOT designed as a weapon but used in a way this could cause great harm–an automobile, a fire poker, a ball bat. They probably don’t understand the legal meanings of hot blood or cold blood. To think how many of them are lawyers and passed the bar…jeeeze. Under this president, they can outlaw butter knives and lawnmowers, and the dreaded tampon string.
If they ban machetes only Muslims will have them. We know they are trying to unarmed us to make it easier for Muslim brotherhood to mrder us. They think we are stupid and some of us are Too stupid to see what’s going on.
What? I like to use it in my garden to cut overgrown branches and roots.
