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.

I agree.
Silly man
Ooooooo how scary. Better ban rocks next when people start killing each other with them. Then ban sticks. Somehow legislation will keep people safe!!!!!
Well, you know when you restrict guns, it’s natural for knife attacks to increase
Everyone,,, hide your forks and butter knives, they are coming after them~~
So happy I left that shithole state when I retired. I feel sorry for all the good people that are forced to stay because of job or family or other reason The rest of you good people GET THE$#%&!@*out NOW, let that shithole state go bankrupt when a mass exodus occurs
They are fashioning themselves after the UK. Wasn’t it there that a Muslim extremist cut off the head of a soldier with a meat cleaver on a busy public street? Too bad that soldier didn’t have any protection. He had no civil rights….. Oh wait, yes, he had the right to die a violent death.
Even second-hand cigarette smoke kills about as much people is gun violence LOL so yeah you’re right drug overdoses are about 45000 in America a year compared to 30,000 4 gun violence drinking alcohol kills 90000 that year in America but we can go buy it alcohol every single day smoking cigarettes kill half a million people in America each year so clearly it’s not about saving lives it’s about controlling the people in case they want to fight back against a tyrant government
Just plain stupidity
I checked with in Aussie. It’s not a machete, it’s a knife.
