Personally, I think 'the beige one' is going to push so hard with new laws that the vast majority of Americans will just start to not obey any laws. When the normal, law abiding citizen does that, chaos is not far behind.

If anyone thinks I'm being disrespectful to our president ..... YER RIGHT !!!

I have nothing but contempt for this pompous fascist.

My US-made SOG Flash II opens faster than any switchblade, but isn't classified as a switchblade per Washington State law (which prohibits all automatic knives, regardless of whatever license you carry).

I guess I won't be carrying it in my checked baggage when I travel! Good thing cheap Chinese copies are available... I can afford to lose a $4 copy, I can't afford to lose the $65 original!

0bama's just watching out for us. You could put someone's eye out with that!

My husband only has one hand. He works in the trades and needs the kind of knife they propose banning. Americans with Disabilities Act violation, anyone?

Already banned in the UK .... I'm sure Obambi will get around to it .... what a pathetic POS we have as a president.

Ok, let's all just relax. This is all part of Bozo's plan to stimulate the economy. He knows that he has sold more guns than any other person in US history, not to mention ammo, and now he wants us to all go out and buy pocket knifes while the supply lasts! Yeah, that's it, he isn't a dictatorial SOB he is just different in his approach to the economy. (I hope I don't need to put the SAR tag on this one!)

The fact is, we all need to run out and buy pocket knifes, if you don't have one go out and get one, if you have one or two buy more. Then when we impeach this POS we can bring back the import of pocket knifes.

The liberals have learned from the United Nations. They want to tell us how to teach our kids, how to pray, they want to take our guns and knives, deed control of our rivers and waterways to the UN, and also give the UN control of all our national parks. It is past time to lock and load. The fight is going to be harder now.

Simple: If they take your knife, shoot them; if they take your gun, stab them.

Kinves are either tools or weapons.

Those that are weapons are covered by the second ammendment.

Arms is arms.

[GYL2]

Do I even have to point out that knives are one of the easiest weapons to make?

All you need is a material that can hold an edge – metal, plastic, stone, etc....

And a way to sharpen said material? Stone, concrete, etc.....

Churchkey WMD next up.

I can't believe they've let this one slide so long.

Was at the Blade Show in Atlanta last weekend. Head of one big-name butterfly-knife-making company said they’re preemptively restricting sales of butterfly knives, hoping to help stave off the pending redefinition.

Problem with the proposed ruling is that the law in question is actually quite clear about what is covered - to the point that whatever is not covered is clearly not covered, and there is case law establishing it.

Looks like another abuse of power by enacting invalid laws/regulations with a “if you don’t like it, take it to court - and we’ll tie up the issue there for years and/or sway the judges”.

Out-of-control-tyrants BUMP!

[whodathunkit]

Awwww.....

Y’mean I gotta cling to my religion, guns, old pickup truck and now my pocketknife too ???

[Just another Joe]

This is a switchblade

This is a stiletto

This is a one handed opening pocket knife

Hey feds, see the differences?

[Clint Williams]

I say "go for it!"

Too many people have done way too little for way too long. They deserve to lose their freedom; maybe a taste of the lash will wake the lazy b*st*rds up. And if not, oh well.

America -- a great idea, didn't last.

I always carry a razor sharp "rescue knife."
You never know when you might have to cut some poor accident victim loose from their government mandated seatbelt.

My Leatherman? A toolbox-in-a-pocket?

OOOOOOhhhh, that's right! A Leatherman furthers self-sufficiency, but now that OBAMA is the king... er... president, we've go the GUBBERMINT to fix our cars when they break down in the middle of Montana in February!

Is he collecting straight razors in Chicago or Harlem?
