I hate being right

[warhawke]

In a previous thread I reminded MB that knives were an important issue as well as guns. I said that we cannot lose sight of the fact that the hooplaphobes want to ban ALL WEAPONS. I am, once again, proven right. A bill has been introduced in the Hawaii Senate to ban pocket knives.

Hawaii Senate Bill 126

A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO DANGEROUS WEAPONS.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Chapter 134, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is
2 amended by adding a new section to part III to be appropriately
3 designated and to read as follows:
4 n§134- Pocket knives; sale prohibited; penalty. Any
5 person who knowingly manufactures, sells, transfers, possesses,
6 or transports a pocket knife in the State shall be guilty of a
7 misdemeanor.
8 As used in this section:
9 "Pocket knife" means a knife with a blade that folds into
10 the handle and which is suitable for carrying in the pocket."
11 SECTION 2. Upon the effective date of this Act, no person
12 shall import or manufacture pocket knives into the State for the
13 purpose of selling or distributing pocket knives.
14 SECTION 3. New statutory material is underscored.
15 SECTION 4. This Act shall take effect on January 1, 2010.

These idiotic scum will never be satisfied.

For defenders of the sharpened blade pls check out Doug Ritter's organization www.kniferights.org . He is trying to do for knives what the NRA has done for guns.

Does that mean you can openly or concealed carry a sheath knife?  What restrictions, if any, are already in place to cover that?  Just curious.

Tom Mayo and Ken Onion, as well as many others, are knife makers who live there.  There's even a Hawaiian Knife Show.

Yes, join Knife Rights.

Real vague and encompassing description of a Pocket Knife.  Most states have length limits.
