What could be wrong with that? s\
He emphasized that the police would have a lot of discretion in enforcing the law to assure that people aren’t wrongly caught up in its net.
Whoever believes this deserves to be stabbed repeatedly with a plastic spork...before sporks are made illegal.
Though we often focus on the firearm provision of the 2nd amendment “right to keep and bear arms” ... I would think it would apply to knives as well.

Selective enforcement is a hallmark of a police state.
2018......Now that guns, knives, baseball bats, tire irons, sicks of wood, metal, plastic or any other firm objects have been banned from carrying in public, we are now seeing a rise in assaults from zuchinni wielding thugs...
Hospitals are reporting numerous cases of emergency room treatments of zuchinni beatings about the head and shoulders..”It’s horrible to see and have to treat.” says one anonymous nurse, who refused to give her name because she secretly carries a concealed zuchinni on her walk to her car at night....
LOL!
When knives are outlawed only outlaws will be able to eat steaks.
Absolutely incapable of learning from empirical evidence. Many places, e.g. Britain and Australia, have shown that knife attacks are the result of gun bans and that knife bans just lead to assaults with other weapons. “But we can make it work.”
What’s wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?
Palin:
Can’t we do something else?
Idle (Welsh):
Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?
Sgt.:
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...
There's another crowd that prefers pipes (easily obtained at work ~ the pipefitters and plumbers union folks have plenty of free time to make them).
Then there's the flashlight brigade (wannabee street cops ~ love the heft of heavy lead D-Cell batteries).
Undoubtedly these groups have influence in their commnities hence the campaign against knives.
Where would she conceal a zucchini once all clothing is banned?
lets face it people should no be allowed to have sharp pointy things...some one could get hurt what if they took a rock and chipped it into a point...
IT HAS BEGUN...the right to bear arms...the right to protect ones self and family....take away all weapons from law abiding citizens and what do you have....??...
Well................................
You could tell because she’d walk like she enjoyed it...*G*
OK..I’m going no further......
“Woostah”, the second largest city in New England, has been a haven for radical laborites and statists for a long time. Its inhabitants are usually too drunk and bitter about the Bruins to vote anyway else.
Now about passing a law for the police to use judiciously...I hear a racism claim already the first...or third time (whenever) a police officer decides to “use” the law to arrest someone.
And what of the cub scouts pocket knife or the knives that the chef carries to work. 1.5” is pretty short. Can electricians and plumbers still carry “box cutters?” Do fishermen on their way to the lake have to put their knives in a locked case out of reach for transport or can they just keep it holstered on their belt?
Here is the real solution...Make committing a crime with a weapon illegal. That's what they should do. That would clear up all ambiguity and send a real message to the evil doers.
