We've got our fair share of silly knife laws here. It's obvious that the people who make the laws don't understand knives. People at work are always asking me to open boxes or cut peices of tape for them becaue they don't have a knife. Everyone needs to carry a knife whether it's legal or not!
Right now in New York they are trying to ban all pocket knives that open with one hand saying they are switchblades. I stocked up on them so if they do become illegal I can start selling them and make a lot of money!
dcs laws are already the loaded with draconian bullshit. Its illegal to carry a knife with a 3 inch blade or longer, as well as illegal to carry any knife if they determine you have intent to commit a crime. not just a violent crime, ANY crime, as in if you have a knife on you and you get pulled over, congratulations, weapon violation.
yea but alot of guns with the exception of glock fit just over 10 rds but lets end this now and say that the goverment has just turned into a bunch of bullshit gay loving bastards along the with the new "president" and lets hope they dont down size our knives
@ivageivage all it would do is leave the criminals with guns and knifes! when Australia banned guns and knifes crime rates skyroketed the week after it passed and they continue to go up! so you shut the heck up!
@woodlandman105 no offense but some of you people are so worried about that stuff don't get me wrong i am a little to but when they outlaw knives in america china will be a free country:)
@drewsisely well it is as bad as we say it is. (im useing guns as a example) look what they did in california. you cant have more then 10rds. in the magazine. there doin the same with knifes. in my city you cant own a knife over 4in.
@woodlandman105 hmmm well you see that has to be wrong unless you live in a different country cause you can own a blade of any size but you just cant carry one with a blade bigger than your palm unless you have a license or something and 10 rds is alot THAT WOULD SLAUTHER SOMEONE thats enough to kill ten people or make a person almost unidentifiable if your a good shot:)
i really wish i had seen this video earlier. i have a collection of over 60 quality knifes all of which i bought thats my hobby. fuck itll have to be an underground thing lol
The government has apparently lost it's mind. Women need their pocket knives. Have they tried opening the packaging today???? Without our knives we would break our teeth and nails!!!! And keep the spring load as trying to open a pocket knife without one would also break our nails!!!! I won't even mention the fishing you would be ruining.
So how do we know if this idiotic idea has passed?
BTW I'm a knife dealer/seller of many tactical folders. I've seen the video from American Knife and tool Institute but it was after the deadline. I'm in jeopardy of being left with over $13,000 worth of knife inventory if this goes through.
well there are two parts to have this redefinition overruled one the full senate has to vote to send it to a confrence committee. as of today the senate has voted to send it to confrence. it is on its way to being overruled. yea.
yep, it doesnt surprise me, i knew this would happen if obama got in, i know it sucks! i hate obama! im telling you, obama is a danger to america! i feel bad for gun/knife companies, they will all go out of business, well thank all of the people who voted for obama, it's their fault! get job on the video, i totally agree with you!
There's a lot of confusion about what's going on here. They're trying to emplace a ban on imported assisted openers by reclassifying them as switchblades. While, yes, this would not make them illegal under a single federal law, their sale, transport, and use would be placed under any current state switchblade laws. However, as switchblades are heavily regulated in most states, so would these knives. They're trying to make them illegal by default instead of outright banning them.
thanks for the effort in trying to stop this insanity.but the truth is...they're going to pass it wether we like it or not.ill do my part in trying to stop it...but its pointless
They're doing to you what they've done in the UK, where you're not allowed to carry any item for personal protection. Even pepper spray. So an old lady just has to get mugged and hope that she survives. Unarmed lads, just have to get knived by thugs who still have knives. Pistol shooters have to do it abroad, meanwhile criminals still get weapons and kill folks.
In my home town all lockblades are illegal and if you went around town and asked folks whether or not the knew this the would say no. The city for the most part uses this law as an additional charge added to say drunk driving etc. It's not illegal to buy just illegal to carry. I have a feeling this is how it will be used nationally. For us in the U.S. at this time it appears unenforceable. People around here are fighting the camera at the red light. It's quietly being done. Major media no show.
we are humans not primates knives are universal tool. we need knives my pop pop taught me about pocket knives i carry a victorinox rescue tool for safety reasons and self defence reasons.
It is well past time that America FIRES it's politicians. They are rotten criminals that need to be locked up. For those that voted for the current administration, may you be removed from this country forever.
Knife restrictions are one of the stupidest things the government does here in Israel you cant carry any knives but you still occasionally read about a guy that got shot because he tried to stab someone with a 7" blade,all this crap never works.I hope you guys can cancel this stupid proposal.
its not only the united states. the netherlands have a similar proposal which they first talked about around 5 months ago. they use exactly the same proposal and also under the switchblade proposal.
Also.. This is mostly pertaining to knives that are being imported INTO the USA (which is why CBP is coordinating it).. Companies like Benchmade and Kershaw are alright because they make their knives in the USA to begin with... But companies like SOG, Cold Steel, Spyderco etc that have knives or parts IMPORTED from other countries are the companies that have to worry..
Thank you for posting this video and helping to educate the public about this issue. I am going to try and put up a video myself as well as send in a letter. Also, your zero tolerance is gorgeous!
You are stretching a little here. Believe me I am against the law as well, but it is a customs law, they are not going to make all the knives illegal in the entire US, they are just making them illegal to carry between state lines, just like switchblades are now. So its not that they are trying to make them illegal to buy or own, just to carry between state lines the same way switchblades are now.
maybe not yet, but don't you realize this is how a full ban always starts? Ask people in the UK about their guns. You'll see it always happens like this.
so u came in here to petition that demissie is fear mongering? do u watch mainstream news? People like you are why we get our guns and knives and rights taken away. You say things like, hey I don't like the law either but heck they'll never take it our rights away. Look around, we're losing this fight, seems like every day they're taking away another right. so go petition in another room we have enough oposition, we don't need your simple opinion.
People like me? You dont know anything about me, the reason I dont like the fear mongering is because it is exactly what the other side does to take away our gun and knife rights. And when we do the same thing it just weakens our position.
Realism is always better than inflating the truth to suit your cause, no matter what side you are on.
Before assuming you know who I am, why dont you are least look at my channel and see my opinions?
It's still scary though... thats one small right that the government is trying to take from us. its a slipery slope too. from there its one step closer to having more of our rights taken away.
The government really has no reason to do so. They really don't have good reason to be so uptight about switchblades.
Knives do fall under the second amendment. Just because something isn't a firearm doesn't mean we as American citizens don't have a right to own them. "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." It doesn't specify what kind of "arms" citizens can own. This WILL be a direct violation of that amendment God forbid it passes.
While it is true they dont have a reason to do this and shouldnt do it at all, what you fail to realise is that they are not trying to restrict what you can OWN just saying you cant carry them between states.
They are the federal customs people, not the state and local laws.
They are trying to get around the constitution by limiting what you can transport across state lines.
For instance, there is no federal law against switchblades, just you cant take it across state lines.
Thanks for the reply man! Good news I have heard the proposed bills dont have a chance and shouldnt cause any concern, but well have to wait and see...Anythign cna happen if the public stays quit, even if this specific bill doesnt get passed we all need to just be aware of this stuff in the future...
ive made a video about this because of you and im sending letters everyday. thank you for informing me, otherwise i wouldnt of known and i would get screwed over.
In a disaster situation a knife in your pocket can save you, but i guess they are too stupid to think about things like that. Even if they become illegal i can still see holding one, its just safer to have a knife with you if something goes down and you need to set up a shelter or what have you.
i've already emailed 2 senators including one who is a friend of my family and im gunna send one of these letters and try to get my friends to do the same
knives is just a tool btw. been in use longer than you'd think. what next ban hammers?
