Right down the street from me
Scary stuff, and further proof that this city's gun laws just don't work.
yeah...
...the next time you're attacked by someone with a machete, remind them that not only are they breaking existing MA state law regarding knives AND an existing city ordinance against blades over 2 inches long, but HOO BOY, they're in REAL trouble because they're also breaking a new Boston ordinance against machetes in particular.
Guess who proposed this utterly useless duplicate piece of legislation?
Chuckles Turner! Who else?
I'm not knowledgeable...
...about specific councilmen, but that's just reckless and stupid.
It's like Chris Rock said: "Who would go to a club with a metal detector? You'd get robbed when you came out because everybody would know that you don't have a gun!"
