Send them the statute that was just passed in our state legislature. Sheesh.

I've never heard of WorldNetDaily, but they sure have a LOT of scary articles reporting anti 2A activities by the radical left. Brrrrrrrrrrrr

Outlawing pocket knives????? Come on, get real.

Would not this new federal mandate override it?

They're one of the few news outlets that publishes the behind
the scenes stuff the liberal left would really like to keep quiet.

And, it ain't scary if you know where yer goin
after you leave here. It just means the end
of the age is rapidly approaching

I got this email today from an online retailer I have bought from:

Dear Customer,

We are contacting all our customers today to try to get your urgent assistance in fighting the proposed US Customs legislation that would effectively ban all one handed opening knives in the US. We wouldn't normally use our customer lists like this but feel this is urgent enough that we should.

Full information is available at http://www.akti.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (American Knife & Tool Institute), but a quick summary is that US Customs is about to put in place a new definition of 'switchblade' that would effectively cover all assisted opening knives and most regular folding knives that can be opened with one hand. They are accepting comments in writing until June 20 (about a week from now) and we are urging everyone to write in and speak up and help create such a public outcry that this proposal is abandoned.

In addition to banning the import of most current folding knives the proposal would make it a federal offence to carry one across state lines and would make close to 40 million Americans criminals for carrying them. If you enjoy the right to purchase and use a pocket knife please take a look at http://www.akti.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; quickly.

Model letters that you just have to type your name into are available on http://www.akti.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and ready to be downloaded and mailed. AKTI has made this very easy and provides the letters, addresses, etc. If you can speak up about this and get everyone you know to also protest it maybe we can all do enough in time to make a difference.

We appreciate your assistance and apologize if you've been contacted by multiple companies,

What if you made your own knife to be able to be opened with one hand....

What if you make your own gun to be fully automatic...? Oh wait, we know how this ends.

Geeze, everybody I know, including most of my pastoral staff, carries such a knife. So do I, and so does my son. None of us are criminals, nor have we ever been arrested for anything, let alone tried for it. And they want to make outlaws out of us in one fell swoop? I don't care. I'll go to jail over this one, if I have to.

We oughtta be able to do that, as long as we aren't a convicted felon, member of of any criminal gangs, etc, etc

Here is the source of the "controversy". It's the letters and commentary regarding the importation of certain knives, and the rulings of Customs that what was being imported were NOT switchblade knives. They are trying to reinvent the wheel to justify an untenable position they are trying to hold......IMHO it won't last.

A very interesting read, if you wanna muddle through 79 pages of the brief. I'll be honest, I only made it to page 17.

I can't help but feel the Obama administration is alienating the American people, very quickly. And that dog don't hunt! All we have to do is wait it out until the next presidential election. I have a strong feeling, he is going to be a one term president.....if he doesn't resign under pressure before then. That's how I see it at least.

A bunch of us hope you are right, Joe.
