Now They Want to Ban Pocket Knives

In another great example of the Nanny State that the liberals think we need, the Homeland Security folks are trying to quietly ban just about ALL Pocket Knives!

This absurdity is coming about by the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), a part of the Homeland Security Department, deciding that pocket knives with assisted opening mechanisms should be considered a Switchblade!

While the ruling is ostensibly for imports only, the reality is that most Federal, State and Local jurisdictions use the CBP guidelines for their local law interpretation and enforcement. So if the CBP rules that simple, everyday pocket knives with thumb studs for single hand opening, like I have and use about everyday, are to be considered switchblades, then basically the whole country will use the same guidelines and all the regular knives will become illegal overnight!

Another sneaky, backhanded way to control the populace!

Here's a great site for more information and suggestions on how to contact the CBP and your representatives for protesting this craziness!
