It’s a very small and inconsequential example but here goes. Last week my boys and I were kayaking down a river. At one point, we jumped in and clipped our kayaks to our PFD’s to float along. Somow, my son snagged a thread form the rope in his braces and was in an uncomfortable position. I reached in the pocket of my swimsuit and pulled out my spring loaded Gerber pocket knife, swam over, flicked it oen easily and removed the thread form his mouth. That’s justification for a very easy opening knife.

The “logic” behind the ban is simple and stupid. If young men favor using a type of knife in crime, outlaw the knife and the crime will go away. It is incredible to me that legislators actually bought into this stupidity, but it is a microcosm of the entire “ban an inanimate object to limit human behavior” idiocy. It fairly shrieks out “progressive”.
