Nanny state madness

Quote:

NSW POLICE FORCE - FIREARMS REGISTRY

Schedule 1 - Prohibited Weapons

1(8) A Zombie Knife or other device that has a multi-edged blade, including a serrated section of blade, and: (a) is advertised or otherwise made available for sale using images or words that suggest the knife or device is intended to be used for violence, whether actual or threatened, against a person or fictional creature (such as a zombie), or (b) has, on the blade or handle, images or words or markings that suggest the knife or device is intended to be used for violence, whether actual or threatened, against a person or fictional creature (such as a zombie), or has been used to inflict violence.

Legislation to define a zombie knife as a prohibited weapon will commence on 28 February 2019

How is a Zombie knife any more deadly than any carving knife I keep on my Kitchen counter?

Since when did the firearms registry become able to classify any type of knife as prohibited?

This type of Beheading knife is legal according to the firearms registry.

Leftists and the Ayatollahs have a lot in common when it comes to criticism of Islam, they don't tolerate it.

They're said to "carry images or words that glamorise violence". Do carving knives on the kitchen counter glamorise violence? I'm curious.

Looks just like your average kitchen carving knife to me:

It's the owners' responsibility to know what's legal and what's not.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse.

They've already let them know.

A few examples of the idiocy from the nanny state government in NSW.

Is this knife so scary it should be banned?

This new idiotic law in the Nanny state will affect farmers, fishermen and hunters.

Quote:

Robert Borsak

No Defence Against Zombies

“Banning the ‘zombie’ knife is more proof that New South Wales is heading towards a nanny state,” said Robert Borsak MLC.
According to Police Minister Troy Grant these multi edged, serrated blades,
“Have the potential to cause significant harm to people if used in criminal activity.”

This ridiculous proposal by Minister Grant is so open to interpretation that anglers, farmers and small business owners can be prosecuted because of this thought bubble.

Every fisherman and every farmer would be in possession of, at least one, “zombie” knife.

Fishermen use these knives to fillet; farmers use them around their properties, on fences and hay bales and small businesses stock them around the state.

https://www.facebook.com/RobertBorsakMLC/

Nice video explaining how ordinary knives used by farmers, fishermen and hunters along with the RFS,SES etc will be affected by this nanny state idiocy.
