The ban on switchblades was based on emotion driven media reporting with almost no facts involved.

Sound familiar?

Just like gun bans.

“...It was fictional portrayals of youth gang violence that took the switchblade ban over the top, politically. “West Side Story” seems to have had a pivotal role....”

That is true. West Side Story was sensational in the day, but today’s gangsters would laugh at it. Switchblades are a minor issue.

Only honest people will respect the law, because the politicians know this and WANT them disarmed.

Seems like John Edwards has no choice but to sign it. Hopefully his babe, what was her name - oh yea, Rielle Hunter, is ok with this.

Geez, even illannoy recently got rid of it’s switchblade ban.

Switchblades are kinda effeminate compared to a Kershaw and the like (assisted opening).
