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.

Yea that sounds like a liberal. There is a real answer to the problem. What a joke.
You won’t even be able to use a pencil next or an ink pen these politicians are just stupid glad I moved from New York
Stupid!
I feel sorry for that bunch. Really is only a weapon of any kind the ownly killer? How about Cancer , heart attacks , strokes etc. How about a law against any and every thing on earth. Makes about as much sense doesn’t it ?

Corporate thugs at it again
HAVE THEY INCLUDED CARS, MOTORCYCLES ,KITCHEN KNIVES , HAMMERS . BASEBALL BATS ,STEEL TOED SHOES,OR A LEFT HOOK PUNCH ?????????????????WHAT MORONS .
It is still legal to buy flame throwers and all sorts of other means to protect ourselves. Thugs will always have weapons no matter what the government tries to do, and citizens will find a way to get illegal weapons, just like they can get drugs. Banning firearms is apt to start more illegal weapons being sold in this country and someone will make a lot of money doing it. Just a thought!! We won’t be without our right to bear arms one way or another.
How about pencils! I can kill you with a pencil. Or a hammer, baseball bat, etc., etc.
