Customs trying to change defintion of a "Switchblade"!
« on: June 10, 2009, 07:12:21 PM »
Heard about this on Guntalk.  Customs is wanting to change the definition of what is defined as a "Switchblade".  This could have huge consequences to all of us.

They are only allowing comments for 30 days, and half of that is already over.  Please check out the link below:

What's next. Why do I smell George Soros, Rahm Emanuel and Eric Holder all over this. What a coincidence that this new definition of a switchblade is coming up now.

Talk about being with the times   ::)



I also just heard about this on the way back from the Rage this Arvo   

Could not believe  it  from the sounds of it  your customs  has some Aussie bureaucrats or training from ours  over here 

Does  Michael Janich's new knife fall under that???

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Because these weasels never stop picking away at our rights, it's why getting them out of office will never be enough, they need to be hung.

Yesterday they denied an extension to the comment period.  All comments are due there by next Friday.

Castration can still be accomplished with a rusty soup can lid, however, a Buck folding Hunter would be easier.

I think this would open them up for a civil suit under the Americans with Disabilities Act.  It didn't exist when the original Switchblade thing went on the books.  Now, and with the new definition, it would preclude all one handed people from opening their own knives.
