We all know what this is about. This is about removing potential implements for some jihadi to make a locally produced beheading video.

Ban away.

If a jihadi making his beheading video on 42nd St. wasn't the equal of a man clearing brush in some rural area we could pass a law that made sense.

And yet you're the one who agreed with the necessity to ban them in the first place.

Does satire often go over your head, or just this time?

Carrying machete should lead to year in jail Updated: Thursday, February 19 2015, 10:34 AM EST NEW YORK (AP) -- A New York state senator wants machete possession to result in up to a year in jail. Proposed legislation by Queens Democrat Tony Avella is prompted by recent attacks, including last summer's hacking death of a teenager on Long Island. The Daily News says that under current state law, machetes are considered the same as butcher knives. Carrying one could result in up to 15 days in jail and a $300 fine.

I see no reason it is worse than a butcher knife.

What's the punishment for owning an unregistered butter knife?
