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.

Especially a tool protected by the 2nd amendment as a Arm .
What about hunting knives, ice picks, arrows, sling shots, hand saws, drills, sharp scissors, and the irrational list goes on endlessly. New Yorkers will soon be required to assimilate and identity as kindergarteners and first graders because that is how they are being treated.
Dip shits… That’s all
It only affects people who abide by the law in the first place. Nanny state politicians are interested in one thing, and one thing only: more power. They couldn’t care less about their constituents unless there is more money or more power for them. Self serving zealots and charlatans, the lot.
