The U.S. Government Is Trying To Take Away Your Pocket Knives!
Make of this what you will... I thought it was interesting!
What's in your pocket? What's in your shop? U.S. Customs has proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening knives are not switchblades. The proposal would not only outlaw assisted opening knives, its overly broad new definition of a switchblade would also include all one-handed opening knives and most other pocket knives... Seems that our utility knives and other knife tools are covered under this too. "It is now CBP's position that knives incorporating spring- and release-assisted opening mechanisms are prohibited..." from http://www.kniferights.org/U%20S%20C...g%20Knives.pdf I found this stuff mentioned in a gun rights e-mail and followed the path to http://www.kniferights.org/ John |
