I read the entire Decision and Order and cannot see how this exact reasoning does not apply to semi-auto rifles. You can have nunchucks but not an AR-15. But ARs are not "banned" just "regulated." But if you don't already own one in NY it is banned, at least for you.
ARs are commonly possessed and used for lawful purposes much more than criminal purposes. You can see how the libs think. We banned them, therefore after we banned them, any that are possessed are possess for criminal purposes. So how is it nunchucks are protected but ARs are not. Beats me.

So nice we are getting obscure and rarely used melee weapons back. Meanwhile, the ubiquitous Semi auto with a pistol grip is treated like a non common and dangerous weapon.

I thought this was a ridiculous law when I first heard about it 10 or so years ago. Nunchaku are were banned in the NY in 1974, citing I believe that it was a "gang weapon." When I looked into it I came across this website: FightingArts.com - Nunchaku: Illegal in New York & California -
I think that anytime the 2A is protected and upheld, whether its for nunchaku or knife rights, our side wins.

Unconstitutional Nunchuck Ban Ruling Is Bad News For Democrats
A federal judge has ruled that New York state’s ban on nunchucks is unconstitutional. While this ruling may seem like it only applies to the martial arts weapon and those in New York, it actually has a broader application, which is really bad news for Democrats.
Nunchucks aren’t the most practical weapons and are more likely to injure the user than an opponent, but they are protected by the 2nd Amendment right to keep and bear arms. So, the recent ruling should also mean assault weapons and magazine bans are equally unconstitutional.
The LA Times reports that way back in 1974, the state of New York banned nunchucks out of worries that people would injure themselves with the two sticks attached by a rope or chain. In the 70s, martial arts movies were all the rage and people wanted to be Bruce Lee beating the crap out of Kareem Abdul Jabbar with a pair of nunchucks. But, lawmakers quickly put a damper on that.
Because of the ban, James Maloney was charged and convicted with possession of nunchucks in his own home in 2000. He appealed this conviction all the way to the Supreme Court, who remanded to the lower court for the 2nd Amendment implications to be considered. It went back to a lower court and a decision finally came in.
Federal Judge Pamela Chen ruled on Friday in a Brooklyn court that nunchucks are protected by the 2nd Amendment, finally striking down New York’s unconstitutional ban.
What makes this of interest to gun-banners and freedom-lovers alike is how Judge Chen came to this decision. Maloney showed the court that “at least 64,890 metal and wood nunchaku were sold on the retail market in the United States between 1995 and 2018,” making them “in common use.” That’s significant because of a Supreme Court decision.
In the DC v. Heller case, the Supreme Court ruled that gun ownership is an individual right not tied to service in the military or membership in a militia. In the ruling, Chief Justice Antonin Scalia also said that weapons “in common use for lawful purposes” are protected by the 2nd Amendment and cannot be banned.
Judge Chen cited DC v. Heller in ruling that nunchucks are in common use. Now, here’s the part that will drive anti-gun liberal politicians crazy. If 64,890 nunchucks in private hands make them “in common use,” how common are the millions of semi-automatic rifles — that liberals call “assault weapons” — in private hands?
The AR-15 isn’t called “America’s rifle” for nothing. NBC estimates that there are 15 million AR-15s owned in this country. That number is likely on the low end, and it doesn’t include all of the AK-style and other scary-looking semi-automatic rifles in private hands. Tens of millions is a hell of a lot more common than tens of thousands.

This bodes well for knife rights in general. It's too bad this ruling only applied to nunchuks and not the dozen-odd other items on the list. There was recently a Connecticut ruling that legalized stun guns (also banned here) based on the 2A and Heller. So it's up to litigants to dismantle these unconstitutional laws piecemeal.
In the meantime it's messy. As with the "SAFE" Act and the 7 round limit, this doesn't take it off the books. For now I think this ruling is technically only binding on Long Island (including Brooklyn and Queens) unless it gets appealed and affirmed, so you'd still be nunchuking at your own risk upstate.
My late uncle from PA had a massive cane collection including some evil banned cane swords. Any swordstick aficionados want to kick in for a lawsuit?
