    They can have my knife tanto-point first!!

    It interesting the double standard of prohibition, whereas the people invent, create, and provide these wonderful tools to our society, and government simply decrees they are too dangerous for the same people to own, but of course government agents are the ‘only ones’ with the moral superiority to posses otherwise banned items.

    That’s fine for now, but one day we will take our rights and powers back. Remember what govt tells us? the more you resist the higher the escalation of force? One day we will say “No!” to your petty tyrants and I will try my best to restrain my righteous indignation.

    This was a huge issue at the just-completed BLADE knife show.

    For right now everyone should hold fire while the legal folks at AKTI, KnifeRights, and others figure out the best strategy.

    The fire-force call out should be coming soon at which time we’ll want to slam our elected officials with a co-ordinated attack.

    I think there’s a saying from way back in history concerning the confiscation of tools that I’ve heard before somewhere.

    Something about taking it, but you have to show up first?

    Oh yeah.

    I think this is a great idea. It has already been implemented in the place where Great Britain used to be with resounding success.

    They already did this with balisongs, quite a while back, but it affected only importation and not interstate commerce. Illinois is still strictly “automatic”, i.e. only spring action which brings the knife fully open is restricted, and allows gravity operated and thumb opening. (Some municipalities restrict balisongs and gravity knives, though.)

    This unfairly targets those with disabilities that limit them to use of only one hand.
    I think that’s a great angle on this, one could easily argue the accessibility issue and make the government agencies responsible look like jerks.

    So, if they classify assisted-openers as “switch blades,” (which, interestingly, are not prohibited in some states such as Florida, all the restrictions here seem to be on interstate procurement), I guess we’ll just have to start carrying “always-opened” fixed blade knives.

    He’s gonna have to pry my Kersaw Liner Lock from my cold dead hand.

    I’ve always been curious why automatic knives have been banned.

    I mean when I’m in locals where carrying a gun is illigal I carry a Ka-Bar TDI knife. 2.5″ blade that fits under the size of most “Weapon” laws, really great ergonomics, and it’s a fixed blade because I don’t trust a folder with my life. They’re great as tools, they suck as weapons.

    And of course a fixed blade conceals just as easily (sometimes better as they can be thinner) and deploy FASTER than automatics.

    More weapon laws that don’t make sense.

    Oregon has no restrictions on knife ownership, even went to the Oregon supreme court.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
