Potential SCOTUS case here. I have faith that the (entire) 9th Circus won't pass up a chance to get overturned by SCOTUS.

Always been curious why butterfly knives are so "evil". They are needlessly complex and hard to deploy. There are far easier mechanisms.

Because they looked nefarious in early 1980s hoodrat movies, just like switchblades in the 50s. Association with characters of ill repute in public consciousness.

Just like those dreaded ninja stars (shuriken, for the purists) from the 70s and 80s ninja movies I grew up on.

“Knives are ’arms’, - Of course they are, as are swords, spears, lances, body armor (whether mail, plate, Kevlar…), etc.

2nd Amendment does NOT simply = guns.

The meaning of the term “arms” is broader than many think. Lots of terms reflect this; polearms, firearms, man-at-arms, etc.

Sad we need a court to declare this when a simple dictionary of the English language should suffice.

The way I read it, the 9th reversed the Hawaiian ban. Surprised me being the 9th actually made a pro 2nd amendment decision.

I believe when Trump appointed all the vacant judge positions, the 9th sort of flipped back to being more constitution focused.

True.
Because post boomer libs think "Funk and Wagnall" is a boy-band.

Plus the whole butterfly action is stupid, and a waste of motion

If they ban knives, what will casualties bring to a gun fight?

This could have implications for Indiana. As Indiana still has a (stupid) Ballistic Knife prohibition on the "books"

That and the lessor known "Gravity Knives" get banned a lot.

Think of them as a springless switchblade, when held down and the button pressed gravity will pull the blade out.
