Same Government that will tell you which plant leaves you can smoke, and how much tax you should pay to do so.

It’s also possible that CBP knows what asshats this makes them out to be and will simply drop the matter, obviating the need for an extension.

How did we get to a point in America where a rogue agency can make it’s own laws without going through the legislative process?

I still don’t understand why anyone would think it makes sense to take knives away from a person that can legally own handguns.

They’ll be in your bedroom next. BTW, how about Liberals outlawing sticks and stones? Man has been killing his fellow man back to the cave days.

I've contacted my Congressional reps. I also just ordered a couple more KA BARs and some 550 to wrap handles with etc.

Plus, over the last couple of months I've given knives as gifts for any occasion. Including a couple of knives that would be un-importable under the proposal - to my Mom and MIL for mother's day. Let them make outlaws of a couple of women in their 70s. (thumb stud opening "rescue" knives that include glass breakers and seatbelt cutters)

Hard to believe, but it became impossible for children to carry pocketknives at school about a decade ago. I am still incensed about it. 100 years ago, a boy that did not possess a pocketknife was considered in need of friendly counseling. Children were advised to carry knives to learn responsibility.

We have got to start taking the culture back. This is another front.

A knife is an arm; is it not protected by the same 2nd amendment that Heller declared protected my guns?

IMHO..... Many honest, law abiding citizens, as well as war veterans will not follow this stupid law, nor many of the others that these nut cases are jamming down our throats.

FYI, here is a RELATED issue: there is no NEED for the Supremes to consider 2nd Amendment “Incorporation”! FACT: The 2nd Amendment is SELF-incorporated to all government entities at every level. It is MORE ABSOLUTE than the 1st Amendment, or any of the others, because the wording forbids not only CONGRESS, but ANYONE from infringing on it. The 1st says “Congress shall make no law...”. The 2nd say “shall NOT be infringed!” Period! End of debate!
