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.

Well seriously if someone walk around in public with one of those I would say that’s a deadly weapon
MORONS!
How do they expect people to get through the new York jungle?

What is the problem with people in the northeast
Anything can be used as a weapon in the right or wrong hands. Inanimate objects aren’t the problem, the people using them inappropriately are!
I blame the voters for giving these politician’s control of their lives. Stranger’s dictating how you live your life, what’s good for you etc, they do work for us?
AND NO MATTER HOW MANY OF ANY WEAPONS AND TYPES THAT ARE BANNED AND TAKEN AWEAY FROM GENERAL POPULATION THE THUGS,HOODLUMS,AND CRAZY IDIOTS WILL STILL GET THEM AND KILL INNOCENTS .
F**k NY.
