Coming from the Blaze, but a “holy cow, what fucking idiots,” piece. Two councilmen are wanting to restrict the sell of knives in Boston because Mothers and Grandmothers have seen their loved ones stabbed.
Their rhetoric reminds me what the anti-gun crowd regurgitate.
Check out the video below of the two winners wanting these “regulations.”
Is Boston really “set” to ban knives or is this just a proposal by a couple misguided idiots that isn’t going to go anywhere after national ridicule?
I ask this because I remember reading about how Hawaii was going to ban knives some time ago and it turned out to just be one state legislator douchebag. Think it got killed in committee.
NY has truly chickenshit knife and ( IIRC ) pepperspray laws . I have heard but can not confirm that the two get-arounds for pepper spray laws are wasp spray ( the kind that shoots 15 feet or so ) and or oven cleaner .
I think ( albeit in hindsight ) that Plaxico Burress would have been much better served by an old claymore bag with a can of Easy-Off and one of the short skinny cans of Spectracide Wasp & Horne Killer.
He could have even Kim-Chi ( Golden Ki ) engineered a a way to carry a Surefire Z2 and the hierloom handcrafted kitchen knife ( from his last visit to his Grandmother ) that he forgot was in there .
Or he could carry all that stuff & more in a $1469.99 custom made team logo waist pack , or gentleman’s shoulder bag .
Mr. Burress has the money to hire a Dream Team of lawyers if unforseen problems happen to develop .
It worked for O. J. from the Cleveland Browns . The lawyers that is , I don’t know what he used to murder those two people .
So…what was the reason why they banned Numchucks? Most martial arts that I have done, we always joke about the wannabes with them and how they really have no practical use. One of my childhood friend’s dad carried a small rope with him everywhere he went. No joke, dude took out my friend during practice who had a boken.
Politicians watch too much damn TV. Guess their favorite Ninja Turtle wasn’t Michelangelo.
Pick axe handles and Okinowain rice grinding sticks?
Rolling pins ?
Those of us who have seen a petite female pastry chief/mother of three ( & former model ) who is 5’2 , weighs 112 - 115 pounds and is very athletic ( 18% body fat , 22 inch waiste ) attack 10 pounds of butter and 40 pounds of dough with a well proportioned 4 foot rolling pin can come to appreciate the awesome power of that specific combination. The lady could kill 3 grown men in their sleep on Christmas and never break a sweat.
ETA:
The lady is a south west Slav/ central Med mix. Hybrid vigor can rock a pair of genes.
Most states got their nunchaku laws in the mid 70s when gang bangers started toting them following the popularity of Bruce Lee movies. They were presented to law makers as some kind of “super weapon” that makes the average gang member a whirling tornado of death.
The fact that a gang member was just as dangerous with a board or broken bottle was apparently lost on law makers.
Gang members being black people. Yet further evidence that arms control is really about racism. Strangely, disarming blacks has always been the specific platform of a certain political party…
Who cares? Some idiots in Boston elected these morons and now they get the results. Hopefully a bunch of people are impacted and inconvenienced and there is some backlash. Some people and jursdictions will never learn that it isn’t the object, but rather the person behind it.
