The bang for the buck from Knife Rights and the NFAFA is impressive. Todd Rathner was the lobbyist who got the Wisconsin legislature to do away with the switchblade ban, the ban on carrying concealed knives, and strong state preemption of knife laws, all in 2015.

These extremely effective organizations complement the NRA, GOA, SAF, and state organizations.

You can see it happening now. Many states are relaxing suppressor laws. Its just the tip of a larger melting iceburg.

".....the ban on carrying concealed knives...."

What, in Wisconsin people can only carry sheath knives (fixed blade or folding)in belt holsters??

In the last legislative session in Texas (2015), Todd lobbied both for Knife Rights and the NFA Freedom Alliance. A strong statewide knife preemption bill was passed.

Reform of the archaic Texas knife laws against carry of any knife with a more than 5.5″ blade was narrowly defeated by a Democrat committee chairman, who voted for the bill, then killed it by refusing to do the administrative action he had promised.

A lot more work needs to be done on Texas's knife laws.
