R.I.P. Scout26
House Bill 1929, repealing Pennsylvania’s ban on automatic knives, passed the Senate today unanimously (50-0). The bill previously passed the House 202-1. HB 1929 now moves to Governor Wolf for his action.
The repeal is effective on January 2, 2023. Until then possession of automatic knives remains (except as a curio) illegal in Pennsylvania. We still have work to do in Pennsylvania; without knife law preemption, cities and towns can still prohibit automatic (and other) knives, and many do.
I truly expected some long-winded bullshit screed from Wolfe about how Republicans wanted this so that they can stab their way through crowds of peace-loving liberals.
