Knife violence is rampant in New York!!!
Please more laws.
For the LOVE of GOD!!!! The children need more laws about items becoming violent.
Where's the KQL?
I know there are many first time buyers, how do they learn to use them safely?
Where do they learn 'Never point a knife at something you don't intend to cut', 'All knives are sharp until you can prove otherwise, even then they are still treated as sharp and dangerous', Never take a knife out of the block until you are ready to use it' Always make sure you don't sweep anyone with the point of your knife or wave it around as if brandishing it. Know what's beyond (behind) what you are cutting.
Finally, when using a knife for self defense remember; once the aggressor has stopped being a threat, stop stabbing! A corollary is, don't throw your knife at a previously threatening aggressor who is retreating, as that makes you the aggressor since no immediate threat to yourself or others still exists.
I hope these reminders help.
Take a class on knife skills at your local culinary school where they have trained professionals and the proper accessories (cutting boards, aprons, and steels) to help you learn safe knife handling.
Of course,there is always the perennial discussion among knife knuts as to which is better stainless steel or high carbon knife blades and should you sharpen at home or have them professionally maintained (a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one). Which blade is sharper, one ground at a 15 degree angle or the 20 degree angle? What about ceramic knives, are they good for self defense or are they too brittle to be effective?
Last, they are available everywhere, hardware stores, kitchen supplies, online. They can even be shipped directly to your home without government approval. It's about time for ATFE to become ATFEK and start issuing FKL's!
Where are the serial numbers? How can we track them? When does a piece of sheet steel become a knife, is it when cut in the shape of a blade, when the handles are added, when it's finally sharpened? Can you make one at home for your own use? Having two edges of the blade sharpened makes it an assault knife and should be banned.
Are knives covered under 'Red Flag Laws"? If not, why not?
Thanks, now let's talk hammers...
