What is next from our enemy, meddling Government? The Case for Knife Rights

Allow people to carry their guns, if they like. It usually will deflect an assault. 

A knife is up close and more than personal. It has to be used close in with killing as direct and intentional threat with blood everywhere as life is cut away. 

Guns keep the bad guys afraid at a distance.

Watch out, your garden tools are next! m/r



The Case for Knife Rights - Reason.com



 | April 7, 2014



Big government overreach claims a new class of victims.

A certain fellow—we’ll call him Fred—broke the law a while ago. He didn’t mean to. He didn’t even know he was doing it. Nevertheless, had he been caught he could have gone to jail—for a year.
Fred lives in Virginia. Last fall he went on a camping trip. Not knowing what the terrain might be like, he stowed a short machete in his backpack—in case he needed to clear away some stinging nettles, or behead a stray boomslang. (Boomslangs are extremely poisonous snakes whose venom makes you bleed to death from every bodily orifice. They are usually found only in sub-Saharan Africa—but why take chances?)
In any event, Fred unwittingly committed a Class 1 misdemeanor. Virginia’s concealed-weapons law makes it illegal to carry “hidden from common observation” not just firearms but also dirks, bowie knives, switchblades, razors and a variety of more exotic items usually seen only in poorly dubbed martial-arts movies. The list also includes machetes.
Fortunately for Fred, he has an ally in his corner—a group called Knife Rights, which is like the National Rifle Association but for knives.
