So it really is true....

From Fox News

Gelman was wrestled to the ground by three cops and the man he slashed, ending a 28-hour rampage

From what I have seen on the news and in an interview with "the man he slashed" on the subway, it was that victim that did most of the wrestling, not the police. He fought off the BG after he was attacked on the subway and the police came in afterward to detain and arrest him. He did however receive nasty wounds as you would expect from a knife fight.

Yup, the cops were minutes away when seconds count (for this guy at least, the other victims were shit out of luck) and another ordinary citizen/victim stopped the BG. But only cops should have guns............

They've been working that way in the U.K. already - since guns are already banned.

Not banned just highly restricted.

don't know if he had more than one but the picture I saw looked like a Wusthof Chef's knife...he's a high class stabber.

It has a Black handle, it must be an "Assault Knife!"

I thought you had to have a professional chef license to privately own a knife with 3 pins in the tang? Shows what I know.

[Irving]

Might fine work sir.

No, they are legal, you just have to swap out the middle pin with a US manufacture to comply with 922R, and do not, do not try to drill a 4th pin to tie a lanyard to. Thats constructive intent my friend. Of course, if the knife blade is over 11 inches long, it's classed under sabre regulations and you'll have to fill out a form with the ATKWF (alcohol tobacco knives weed and fireworks) pass a background check, then get the knife and knife handle engraved with your initials. Don't forget to microstamp the bladed edge with the details as well, so it's California legal. You'll have to re-stamp it every time it dulls to stay on the up and up. Now, if it's under four inches in length you are going to fall under shiv regulations, so make sure you do not modify it at all or it will be an unregistered home build. You also have to be 21 and pass a culinary class in order to purchase a shiv class knife. Now, if it's a double edged blade under 4" long then it gets really hairy, see at that point, you fall under dagger, shiv, culinary and SBS (short bladed sword) regulations. You will need to pay $200, not pass go, pass a background check, turn in your get out of jail free card, skip a turn, bribe a CLEO or forge a signature, take three classes a year, and pay to have an annual inspection of your home; additionally the culinary SBS dagger shiv will have to be kept in a segregated room from any person in the home besides the permit owner. This room has to have barred windows and a safe door weighing no less than 200 pounds, as well as steel framing at minimum, concrete preferred. No more than $2500 in knives can be placed in a single room. Additionally, the culinary SBS dagger shiv should never be displayed to anyone under the age of 21; and all children in the household shall attend educational classes explaining while knives are evil.

Some of the regulations also cross over, so make sure you check before you buy! This only covers the federal side of things by the way. You will have to research your state and local bladed laws on your own.


Okay, I'm glad everything's clear as day, now lets have fun! I'm going to eat a steak with my registered SBS. What are you doing? We could all meet up for steak. Don't worry, the LEO are friendly here. One even came over and asked about it, then he showed me his katana.

SOOOOOOO GOOD!!!!!!! HAHA!

If it isn't a gun, it's always the person. As soon as they use a gun, it's the gun. I've seen this for years. Years ago, I remember a guy took his Cadillac and drove it (purposely) into a daycare (in Cali) filled with kids, injured a bunch (thank God none of them were killed) and it was page 42 news. If he had used a gun, it would have been page 1 nationwide. I honestly believe most of the reporters don't really give a crap about the victims, only how they can sensationalize it if it fits their parameters. Bunch of vampires...
