Obama Infringes 2nd Amendment, Is Attempting Knife Ban, page 1

All of us who support our right to keep and bear firearms have been worried about Obama banning guns. Well it appears he has replaced the management at U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) with his own people and they are trying to sneak a rule change through that will make all assisted opening and one hand opening knives illegal under the 1958 Switchblade law.

Details are here: Kniferights

U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) has proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening knives are not switchblades. The proposed new rule would not only outlaw assisted opening knives, its broad definition of a switchblade would also include one-handed opening knives and could be easily interpreted to cover most other pocket knives, even simple old-fashioned slip-joints.

This is a cowardly act to further disarm the American people unconstitutionally. The 2a enshrines the right to bear arms, not just firearms but all arms.

This is yet another example of the Obama administration giving us more of the same running roughshod over the Constitution just as Bush did and Clinton before him etc.

This needs to be stopped. If they get away with this they will most likely try something similar with ammo imports.

I carry a one hand opener with me always and use it for everything from breaking down boxes to cleaning fish and game. What else shall I use? A stick? A rock? Wait those can be dangerous weapons too, perhaps Obama will next make it illegal to pick up a rock?

Let's hear your thoughts on this Americans. Let's hear from the UK about what a cluster foxtrot their knife laws have been.

Here is the CBP.

Make your voice heard that you will not be infringed.

Stop everyone you see on the street with a knife clipped to their pocket and tell them about this.

I'm getting tired of these back door sneak attacks against mine and my families safety.

Our government has gone completely and utterly insane. I see the people in Iran risking their lives for their beliefs, yet Americans, the supposed leader of freedoms, is turning a blind eye to being turned into remote-controlled robots or something. It wasn't even that long ago that men took the law into their hands and achieved justice when need be and the "law" didn't interfere. I just don't know what to even think about this knife law proposal. Are we going to completely disarm the honest citizen so that only outlaws have weapons. ?

Well, hey.

We can still buy forks without being I.D'ed so I think we're still ok, or was it spoons, one part of the UK has banned them from under 18 year olds, so at least we're not completely extreme!

I'll go try to find the link

Well only if Riddick is around!

I don't see how this really effects the 2nd ammendment, isn't that more about guns, which he has already done, knives seem like fair game.

The 2a is about all arms, not just guns. The Founders envisioned our armed citizenry as having access to the most modern military weaponry to be able to fight off invaders or tyrannical government. It also includes any form of arms from halberds to dirks.

Well then in that case, I don't believe it's all that important, I mean noone else in the country seems to be concerned.

So it's not a big deal.

^^^^ Social Conformity, it's how it'll get passed.

I think no one is concerned as people don't know about it. This will make possessing an assisted or one hand opening blade a federal felony. You get busted for it then you are a felon and then no more guns...

I can't afford my electric bill when I power up my argon fueled plasma disruptor rifle and take it for a spin so it doesn't get much field time.

Knife ban?

That's absolutely ridiculous.

Are you sure this is accurate?

It seems so... extreme.
