I have been made aware that US Customs and Border Protection is pushing a change that will make ALL assisted opening knives considered to be switchblades and thus illegal to have.  I am not sure of to much of the information on it but wanted to see if anyone on here had more information and to provide a link to a website with lots of info and the address to write to the CBP and comment.  They only are allowing for a 30 day comment period (ending June 21) so not much time left.  Thanks!

The U.S. Government would never do something like this.

Half of me would like to say "haha told you so" to all of the anti-gun knife collectors/builders out there that I have argued with over the years, but that wouldn't be very productive or helpful or nice...so I shall listen to the other half that suggests I try to stop this from happening.

Yes I am being sarcastic. I am just throwing out the lines that the blind nomally type. After all the U.S. government only has your best intentions in mind.

Maybe, maybe not    but I do not like the trend of going after guns and then maybe showing a little interest in knives.  Next thing you know they will be attempting crap like overseas where you can not even have a bladed weapon to defend yourself.

I've been wondering why they have been going after auto-knives in the first place? Has there been a recent crime wave that I haven't heard about or has someone been watching west side story again?
