    It’s worth it to note that the majority of US states have similar laws regarding the carrying of blades over a certain length in public, and almost all public transit systems in the United States heavily restrict or outright forbid weapons on public transit.

    The USA is really an exemption that people are allowed to carry assault rifles, grenade launchers and flamethrowers in the subway

    Not only is this hyperbole categorically false on its face, but it’s often even illegal to bring blunt self defense weapons onto the Subway like brass knuckles, clubs etc.
