\"State<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

From the New York Daily News comes <\/a>the story of NY State Sen. Tony Avella who, after some vicious machete attacks in New York City wants to make possession of a machete worthy of a year imprisonment in that state;<\/p>\n

State Sen. Tony Avella plans to introduce a bill to ban the possession of the scary blades in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that anyone can easily purchase this potentially lethal tool is just crazy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Smaller knives such as switchblades and gravity knives are already banned and listed as deadly weapons under state law, but machetes are considered the same as butcher knives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you know what else they could do? They could make it illegal to kill people with a machete. What? It is already? And people aren’t obeying that law? Then, by all means, let’s write another law that criminals won’t obey. By the way, Senator Avella, you said it all in your little comment – it’s a “tool” that’s “potentially lethal”. So are nail guns, circular saws and hammers. And, oh, yeah…guns. The part that takes them from “potentially lethal” to “lethal” is the person who is holding the tool.<\/p>\n

Is there some kind of contest that the rest of us don’t know about in the New York State legislature for the most ridiculous legislation?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
