I may not live in "da schitty o' Boschton" (to
quote their mayor), but I have worked there and have occasionally traveled
there for reasons other than work. Never
once without a knife in my pocket or on my belt. I use my knives every day, yet I have never
committed a crime with any of them – except by my occasional presence in places
where the mere possession of stuff is itself a crime.
"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the
right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."
IMHO this is preemption of stupid ordinances of this type at
the Federal level and applies to the various States and to the municipalities. The SCOTUS made that abundantly clear in
Heller and MacDonald.
If all those knives that were “confiscated” by the MBTA
police were such a problem, why weren’t their owners arrested? Conversely, if their owners weren’t
committing an arrestable offence, why was their property stolen by the transit
cops?
The real problem is that these imbeciles are not restricted
to the home of the original tea party (circa 1773). This mentality - or more likely mental
condition - is rampant throughout the Commonwealth.
