http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/05/11/knife-rights-movement-gets-switchblades-other-knife-laws-repealed-in-states/ Once overshadowed by the hot-button gun rights debate, laws restricting knife sales and possession are the new "second front" in the battle to preserve Second Amendment rights. The issue has gained more attention in recent years -- most recently in Baltimore, where obscure knife laws have surfaced at the center of the Freddie Gray death case. Well before that case, though, the nonprofit advocacy group Knife Rights has been steadily working in state capitals across the country to roll back or repeal longstanding knife bans and restrictions. And they've seen a string of successes. “We’ve introduced the Second Amendment to a significant number of people who never considered it their amendment,” said Doug Ritter, who founded Knife Rights in Arizona in 2009. The group argues that possessing and carrying any kind of blade is, as with guns, a right enshrined in the Constitution. They've deployed that argument to, so far, help 10 states wipe most -- if not all -- knife restrictions from the books. It also has successfully advocated for so-called preemption laws in eight states, blocking local jurisdictions from circumventing state law with their own, stricter regulations. I’ve seen a lot of deadly attacks with knives and I think repealing all the laws and eliminating them would be ridiculous,” said Jack Rinchich, a retired Florida police chief who now serves as president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. A Marine Corps veteran who spent 40 years in law enforcement, he is a staunch defender of the Second Amendment.
However, “I do believe we need laws restricting certain types of knives, especially those that are designed to kill,” he told FoxNews.com. “I don’t think anyone should be walking down the street with a combat knife for any reason.” Chief Sean Mannix, the Texas president of the chiefs’ association, agrees, saying that, “reasonable regulation is okay.” WTF is a combat knife? BULLSHIT!

I hope they get them all erased , but regardless of the laws , I still will only carry a traditional folder for reliability and strength's sake . If it was legal , I might consider an auto as a stowaway- boot knife , but never as a sole or primary blade. Just my own personal view on autos.  ETA: ...and if for whatever the reason that I was running out the door for a knife fight , where again , for whatever reason, I couldnt grab a gun , I would probably grab my huge kitchen butchers blade or a machete |

Just double the fines for carrying a switchblade knife "with the intent to employ it during commission of a dangerous felony."
We did that in TN and suddenly the sheriff's association dropped their opposition.

Good.
Now, actual effort needs to be put forth to protect energy-based small arms from being restricted by agencies such as the FDA. No one seems to want to address this issue, and it will become a very serious hindrance to the 2nd amendment in the near future. We are only a few generations of battery technology away from powder actuated arms being extinct. |

Pretty much this. Who is this person to arbitrarily decide what is and isn't a "combat" knife. A hunting knife can fuck someone up just as easily. Or, is it not as dangerous because it doesn't have a "blood groove"? 
Switchblade laws are also retarded given that most knives can be opened nearly as quickly, if not more so. Tell someone with a wave opener on their knife that your switch blade is "quicker". Not likely. I would love it if Virginia would move in this direction, although unlikely with the current governor in office. |

In IL we have CCL with statewide preemption. Which of course means I can walk down
any street in Chicago with a concealed loaded firearm and there's not a damn thing the Chicago PD can do about it........but if I have a knife with a blade longer than 2.5" I could be arrested.

Wondering about the unintended consequences of broadening the definition of "arms" to include things other than firearms -
If knives are ruled to fall under the same constitutional protection as firearms, then can they also be restricted and regulated the same as firearms? How soon until the BATFE's authority to regulate "arms" is expanded to also include knives, bows and crossbows, baseball bats, lead pipes and pointy fingers? |

I think we need to control the language. Stop calling it a switchblade. We need a more gentle name for these types of knives.

It is illegal to possess (class 4 misdemeanor) and also illegal to carry a switchblade (class 1 misdemeanor) in the Commonwealth.
Personally, I think that they should be legal to own and carry without restriction. I can open my folder just as fast anyways. |
