3 women murdered in grisly hammer attack at NY home
I can see it now: If it only saves even ONE life, we must pass a new law restricting crimes committed by hammers!
Undoubtedly Albany politicians will come up with some insane bullshit law for stopping things like this, just like they did with NYSAFE.
Maybe the new law will be proposed and passed using a Memo of Necessity. Maybe it will mandate that all hammers be serial numberized; have 30 day purchase waiting periods; require owners to keep them locked up and with the hammers detached; only allow certified carpenters to purchase them; and only one at a time AFTER completing a background check and a mental evaluation; only allow hammers that weigh less than 8 oz's; paint the claws neon orange; embed an RFID chip in them; and require micro stamping on the head of the hammer, and so on...
Writing this just reminded me of how utterly asinine the NYSAFE ACT truly is...
