Unfortunately this is very true. To many New Yorkers, there is nothing west of the Hudson River, except Hollywood.

The problem is, he doesn't look stupid to them.

The average American is so conditioned to react to knives as "bad things" IME that even a red SAK makes mothers pull their kids away. Which is fine, I really dislike most little kids.

The videos are apauling and the questioning line that was used by the under cover person would be considered to be setting the person being taped up. The questions were directed towards "how do I use and carry this illigaly"

I visited NYC about two years ago, and I didn't like visiting then, and Iam sure not to like visiting ever again.

Again another reason to support Doug.

the most violent thing my knives have ever done is cut a steak.

Pure use of stupid stats by the DA to buttress an argument that's otherwise indefensible. Play with the numbers long enough, you can prove anything.

The way I see it, it gives the NYPD another reason to stop/frisk (for their own safety)/cuff (for their own safety) and detain people who have the unmitigated gall to own a tool.

Of course, with the strict gun laws, no one in NYC carries a gun illegally. Heavens no.

Been to NYC, got a t-shirt, used it as a rag after wearing it maybe twice. Didn't lose anything there, not going back. Let the liberals have it.

Notice the Supreme Court Incorporated the 2nd amendment this
morning. Hopefully this will have some impact on knife rights
as well as firearm rights.
