the recent Baltimore fiasco had me thinking about this subject.
I hardly watch the other cable news networks as fox is liberal enough for my taste - it was sad/hilarious watching them fumble mumble about the differences betwixt spring assist, thumb stub and switchblade.
Our legislatures are so racist and stupid.
Most folks can't carry switchblades because in the fifties and sixties teen exploitation movies had hoodlums using them, machine guns got the same treatment in the 20's - 30's and we cant carry nunchucks because Bruce Lee used them and the kung-fu exploitation movies in the 70's scared people ...
So two of the oldest common use weapons will net you a record for mere possession, completely opposite of the spirit of the 2A and the two SCOTUS decisions heller/mcdonald ....
How long have humans used knives now? Since before they were even modern humans!
