One of the strategies of those who want a disarmed population is to "salami slice" the second Amendment. Ban butterfly knives, ban guns which are too small, too big, too accurate, not accurate enough, etc, until nothing is left.

Yes, the 2nd amendment says “arms”, a generic term which includes all sorts of weapons.

An argument could be made that it does not include heavy crew-served weapons, but at the time you had civilian ownership of cannons.

Hawaii loves bans. Why not ban high capacity full semi automatic assault knives?

Democrats like to rename everything so call it a dragonfly knife and problem solved mixed with a little plausible deniability.

I believe it’s still true that the only Cabalas store that sold real black powder was the store in Hamburg PA. The reason is the genuine black powder is classified as an explosive and you need a special license for explosives . The black powder substitutes are classified as propellants.

That’s true. I remember the “Saturday night special” panic by the left. Bali-Song, or Butterfly knives are actually not as fast to deploy as most other lock back folders, and carry a much greater chance of slicing your fingers if you practice with them enough to get skilled...
