I just don't understand the reason they are illegal in the first place.

 

[danielocean03]

Doesn't make any sense at all for automatic knives to be illegal. Practically everyone I know who carries a knife can open it just as quickly as an automatic, assisted opening or not. Just another B.S. bureaucratic law to limit more of our freedom. I can't stand ignorant laws that don't affect crime rates in any way with the exception of giving criminals the upper hand by disarming law abiding citizens, whether it be with knife or gun laws.

But everyone knows that a mugger or a car jacker's choice of weapon is an automatic knife!!

THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!!

If they use knives, why all the restrictions on guns?

Banned Auto-Knives = No Knifing car jackers!

Unbanned pistols = Pistola car jackers!

Ban pistolas! Stop car jackers!!

 

[danielocean03]

Those damned carjackers. Why must they make life so difficult?

Ban pistolas! Stop car jackers!!

How about shoot car jacker with my pistola through the door = no more car jacker.

OR..........

Let him car jack you until you can get the auto-knife ban repealed and then shoot flying auto-knife blades at him!

Oh wait... Auto-knife not = flying knife blades....

ok scratch that idea....

Fun aside, who is the chair of the committee? Who is pushing this and how can we help? Who needs money?

 

[Bill of Rights]

That would be Sen. Steele chairing the committee, with other members being:
M. Young Ranking Member
Bray
Delph
Head
Waltz
Waterman
Hume Ranking Minority Member
Lanane
Tallian
Taylor

Sen. Steele is also the author of the bill.

FWIW, SB 11 and SB 12, Sen. Nugent's firearms bills, have been assigned to the Judiciary Committee, chaired by Senator Bray.

The other members are
Zakas Ranking Member
Alting
Head
Holdman
Lubbers
Steele
Lanane Ranking Minority Member
Broden
Randolph
Taylor

This could be bad news for these bills: Last session, Mr. Alting and Ms. Lubbers, along with all the Democrats, voted down the bill that was introduced. I don't know about Head or Holdman, but Steele, Zakas, and Bray all voted to pass it.

Get those letters written, folks!

Oh, and Kirk, as for who needs money? I DO!! (and yeah, I know that doesn't mean I'll get any.)

Blessings,
Bill
