I used to work with a Chinese guy who said you couldn't buy knives over there. He was super interested in learning about guns, which of course they can't have

I suspect that the knife manufacturers are behind this movement. Could they be trying to mimic the success of the Antigun movement on gun manufacturers?

NH has no knife laws whatsoever, which works well for me . While I have only two guns (one a Colt AR-15A1 I've had for almost 30 years), I have about 350 knives, including about 75 true switchblades and 40 bayonets. (Obviously, I'm a collector, as opposed to living in a bad neighborhood.) . Anyway, the term "automatic knife" is used a lot by sellers, primarily to distinguish true switchblades from "assisted" or "spring assisted" knives.

This whole debate over automatic knives is so ridiculous. I can flick open virtually all of my manual folders just as fast... At the very least, your eyes wouldn't be able to tell which method was faster.

My guess is that the ban on switchblades was part of a "get tough on crime" effort that was generally thinly veiled racism. See also marijuana criminalization, etc.

"Saturday night special" bans came from the same place.

Has anyone ever argued knives were protected constitutionally?

Sitting here I could see where they are considered "arms" and therefore should be by the Second Amendment just not sure if it has been argued.
