Cuomo passes new knife law (rating, gun, town, thought)

Even Home Depot was selling them.

The whole knife culture that has grown up over the past few decades needs to be looked at. We haven't had serious knife legislation from US Congress since 1957.

Knife culture?

It isn't the government's job to tell us what we can own, merely what we can use our possessions for - and even that is a very loose interpretation.

If you want new legislation, let them keep pushing gun laws. They'll get to the knife legislation when they realize gun laws didn't work. Much like Britain.

That has to be the stupidest new law I've ever seen.

What sort of "Safety" will be gained from this?

Then again, maybe I'll get to see Gordon Ramsey hit with charges after finely slicing a tomato with a carbon fiber blade.

I imagine it’s a bit like car or watch culture, folks who nerd out on things most of us don’t think about much.

Might as well ban cars since more people die in car accidents per year than knives or guns

A criminal doesn't care. He'll be carrying one you can't find.

After he saw his little brother explode, he decided to do this for Chris' sake.

Thank God I left that state when I did. What a bunch of loony bins.
