"What’s the difference between that and banning guns?" Guns are protected under the 2nd Amendment. Knives are not.
Baltimore city ordinance says any knife with an automatic spring or other device to open and close the blade is illegal. Maryland state law says a knife is illegal if it opens automatically by pushing a button, spring or other device in the handle. In other words, a switchblade.
One of the police officers charged, says the knife Freddie Gray had was an illegal one, so the arrest was legal.

Yah, I read that.
Why should any knife be illegal?

Guns are protected under the 2nd Amendment. Knives are not. ???? Is that really true. Any citation to support that? It doesn't make any logical sense. What about a baseball bat, or a cast iron frying pan? Are those protected under Constitution?
