Did you even read the article? There is already knife control legislation and this bill is set to roll them back.The article says the Bill is dead in the Senate, for the second year in a row. Let's also note that it's a Democrat that's trying to get your knife freedom back for you.

Why do people get so worried so quickly about such silly legislation. As long as you aren't killing people, no one is going to take your "guns or freedom!"

My post is an invitation to always read the original article by clicking on the link I provide. I welcome your opinion.

As the legislative session in Albany winds to a close — and despite being extended an extra 24 hours — a bill to amend New York’s gravity knife law appears to be dead in the state senate.

What’s surprising isn’t so much the bill’s demise in a busy legislative session, but the breakdown of the votes, and the ideological bizarro-world the measure has created in the state legislature.

For the second year in a row, a liberal, downstate Democrat has proposed a bill designed to end the over-criminalization of pocket knives — a subject the Voice has covered extensively. And for the second year in a row, almost all the opposition to the measure has come from the Republican side of the aisle. In some cases, second-amendment-supporting Republican legislators were actively sponsoring bills to roll back restrictions on firearms even as they helped ensure that New Yorkers — overwhelmingly New Yorkers of color — continued to be arrested for possessing knives.
