My understanding, from the Lars Larson show earlier this year, is they would stop US manufacture also. You could only buy the knife if it were made in your state (commerce clause). Haven’t heard anything lately but I know the Oregon knife companies were pretty hot about it.

There's still too many reasonable states out there to pull that off, and SCOTUS wouldn't rule in the fed’s favor on it. Their best bet, really, is doing the same thing they did to fully-automatic machine guns, requiring a special tax. Not that I'm trying to help them screw us, but that'd probably be the only legal course.

this is so stupid and unnecessary. What are they afraid of, a scout may cut himself and overwhelm their socialized medicine program?

How about the little flint & steel firestarter kits? They used those to entice us to join the Cub Scouts when I was a kid. All the boys were assembled in the gym and each of us got a pie tin with a few cotton balls in it to set on fire with the flint & steel. Oh man that was fun — and of course the idea was that if you joined the Scouts you’d get to do a lot of that kind of thing. This was in the 1980s but it seems like worlds away now.
