A Hard Earned Knife Rights Victory! Freedom (Finally) Wins in New York! – Knife Rights
Freedom Wins in New York! Governor Cuomo signs Gravity Knife Repeal!!!
Freedom Wins in New York! Governor Cuomo signs Gravity Knife Repeal!!!
Governor Andrew Cuomo to sign A5944, repealing the state's bans on Gravity Knives. Cuomo previously vetoed two similar bills which Knife Rights Director of Legislative Affairs, Todd Rathner, also worked on tirelessly in Albany.
Although the bill leaves the definition of a gravity knife intact, the statutory repeals make the knives legal, stripping New York City and District Attorney Cyrus Vance, Jr. of their ability to continue to abuse the definition of a gravity knife and continue to arrest and prosecute people by claiming a common lock blade folding knife or utility knife is an illegal gravity knife
The repeal is effective immediately.
