Dumb Laws..
Washington Crimes and Punishments
RCW 9.41.250 Dangerous weapons -- Penalty.
Every person who:
(1) Manufactures, sells, or disposes of or possesses any instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife, or any knife the blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement;
(2) Furtively carries with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon;
(3) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm;
is guilty of a gross misdemeanor punishable under chapter 9A.20 RCW.
Effective date -- 1994
Ok.. So based on this, any knife that opens by "..falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement.."
The knife EVERYBODY carries is illegal if it has a thumb stud. The thumb stud and a flick of the wrist opens the knife. That flick of the wrist is producing a centrifugal force by which the blade is opened. That makes it illegal.
Think I'm kidding? Here's the website for the Washington State Legislature..
Good grief..
This law is was only passed as "Feel Good" legislation. It does absolutely nothing to stop crime, protect the innocent, or lower taxes, which are the 3 things laws should be designed to do. How about they re-word that legislation to read..
"Dumb fuck.. If you commit a crime with a instrument or weapon of the kind usually known as slung shot, sand club, or metal knuckles, or spring blade knife, or any knife the blade of which is automatically released by a spring mechanism or other mechanical device, or any knife having a blade which opens, or falls, or is ejected into position by the force of gravity, or by an outward, downward, or centrifugal thrust or movement;
(2) Furtively carry with intent to conceal any dagger, dirk, pistol, or other dangerous weapon without a license; or
(3) Uses any contrivance or device for suppressing the noise of any firearm
You will receive an additional 10 years on your prison sentence. Further, if a death should occur during the commission of this crime with the above stated weapons, we will ship your ass to Texas for your immediate execution."
THAT law makes more sense! People MIGHT actually think twice before committing a crime. Granted, there will be a few who will HAVE to be shipped off. However, very quickly, the criminals will go back to axes, baseball bats, kitchen knives and good ole fashion crowbars.

Democrat Mistakes..
I am NOT the only person who thinks this is funny..
But remember, if Bush had said this, he'd have been impeached as a RACIST!
You know you laughed!

School is in Session..
Greek: Μολὼν Λαβέ or Molon Labe, means "Come and take them!"
Molon Labe!
From the ancient Greek, they are the reply of the Spartan General-King Leonidas to Xerxes, the Persian Emperor who came with 600,000 of the fiercest fighting troops in the world to conquer and invade little Greece, then the center and birthplace of civilization as we know it. When Xerxes offered to spare the lives of Leonidas, his 300 personal bodyguards and a handful of Thebans and others who volunteered to defend their country, if they would lay down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back. Molon Labe! (mo-lone lah-veh)
They mean, “Come and get them!”
They live on today as the most notable quote in military history. And so began the classic example of courage and valor in its dismissal of overwhelming superiority of numbers, wherein the heart and spirit of brave men overcame insuperable odds. Today, there lies a plaque dedicated to these heroes all at the site. It reads: “Go tell the Spartans, travelers passing by, that here, obedient to their laws we lie.”

Liberal Bullshit Media..
OK.. So everybody knows that the Media is Liberal, Demoncrap (Democrat), and will dramatically alter the facts to sell paper..
So, the AP and New York Post have reported that Murders are up by a HUGE amount in New York, and other major cities.. Yea.. Whatever.
In fact, they are up. Houston has report an increase in murders.. But that could be due to the tens of thousands of Katrina refugees still housed in that city. If you look at the murders per capita, they're murder rate is down.
New York.. Ah, the hot bed of Socialism in the United States.. They deserve a blog all to themselves. So, they're murder rate is up 10%, and they have no Katrina Refugees.. So it's all Bush's fault. End of Story. Right?
Not by a long shot.
Let's look at the murder rate in New York over the last 15 years, thanks to the lovely folks over at the Disaster Center. 15 years should give us a pretty good trend line.. And just to make it interesting, let's look at that population, just to see if IT might have any effect what so ever.

- 1991 - Population 18,058,000 - Murders 2,571
- 1992 - Population 18,119,000 - Murders 2,397
- 1993 - Population 18,197,000 - Murders 2,420
- 1994 - Population 18,169,000 - Murders 2,016
- 1995 - Population 18,136,000 - Murders 1,550
- 1996 - Population 18,185,000 - Murders 1,353
- 1997 - Population 18,137,000 - Murders 1,093
- 1998 - Population 18,175,000 - Murders 924
- 1999 - Population 18,196,601 - Murders 903
- 2000 - Population 18,976,457 - Murders 952
- 2001 - Population 19,084,350 - Murders 960
- 2002 - Population 19,134,293 - Murders 909
- 2003 - Population 19,212,425 - Murders 934
- 2004 - Population 19,280,727 - Murders 889
- 2005 - Population 19,254,630 - Murders 874
Just for comparison..
1965 - Population 18,073,000 - Murders 836
So with 1.2 million MORE people, the murder rate is almost the same as it was in the 1960's.. These are the figures for the ENTIRE state of New York, however seeing how 99% of the crime is centered there, it works for us.
So murders, ON THE WHOLE, have been DECLINING for the last 15 years. That's through 3 presidents, a huge number of anti AND Pro gun legislation, 2 terrorist attacks, I don't know how many Governors, 6 FBI investigations into the NY PD, and a Partridge in a Pear Tree.
When are they going to learn. It doesn't help to make GUNS illegal, we need stiffer penalties. AND, with good police work, you can make a difference! The media wrote that report, wanting you to believe that the murder rate going up this year is some sort of HUGE deal! They could go up by 100%, and it still wouldn't be as high as it was in 1994! This is what they call RESPONSIBLE writing.
Freaking Socialists.
