Good thing the DA is on the side of the law. He would have done well on the other side, too. Huh? EDIT: Oh, I get it.

If anyone else hasn't noticed 99% of them knives in that picture are From a company called Fury Sporting Cutlery. They produce some of thee worst knives every made in the history of the world for little to no cash. Id outlaw those specific brand knives personally but thats just me being way to observant and off topic of the real situation at hand lol The picture is prolly not of actual knives jacked from stores but most likely the cheapest knives possibly found to make a photoshoot. Tho these knives from Fury are highly popular amongst tourist trap stores for they can easily jack the prices on actual 5$ or less knives to 20-25$ without a common man knowing the difference. I have actually seen it done in a particular chain of stores on vacation very sad. Any who back to topic for yall!
PS Most of the fury knives are like 1-2 inch blades.... so yeah thats most likely the smaller of the bucks in that corner there.

An article about knives or guns in the NY Times and no editorial slant? I can hardly believe it! What seem to mean is that their slant, this time and on this particular issue, coincides with your own. Or are you going to claim objectivity?

This reminds of how, in San Francisco, Mayor Newsom and then DA Kamala Harris did a similar thing with respect to guns. They got their asses handed to them in court. It didn't matter. If anything, the staged crack down on crime helped them out politically. Now, Harris is the Attorney General of California. Go figure.

Are you referring to the 2005 SF handgun ban or the 2007 Cow Palace gun sales ban?

Bing I don't know how far back you've gone in this forum, but Kniferights.org already had a semi-successfull outcome with one of the knife arrests. http://forums.equipped.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=212060&page=1I'm not entirely sure why the DA backed down. If I were in his shoes I would wait till I had a career criminal instead of a first time offender with a legitimate reason to go after. It would be risky setting a precedent with a "good guy" defendent.
