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?

Re: your pic
So in the UK it's the Offensive Weapons Act of 1996. Why not call it the Defensive Weapons Act since they're banning self-defense. Besides, a kitchen knife is not ordinarily a weapon, depends wholly on the user.

I just added your sig quote to my list of favorite quotes. Got about 200 now over the last 20 years.
The last one I added was almost a year ago.
"I demand nothing better, you may be sure, than that you should really have discovered outside of us a benevolent and inexhaustible being, calling itself the state, which has bread for all mouths, work for all hands, capital for all enterprises, credit for all projects, ointment for all wounds, balm for all suffering, advice for all perplexities, solutions for all problems, truth for all minds, distractions for all varieties of boredom, milk for children and wine for old age, which provides for all our needs, foresees all our desires, satisfies all our curiosity, corrects all our errors, amends all our faults, and exempts us all henceforth from the need for foresight, prudence, judgment, sagacity, experience, order, economy, temperance, and industry."-Bastiat

It's not just knives either.

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.

I don't understand.
Are you implying that criminals consist of primarily one race?

Sounds like a mighty racist implication...toward whatever race he is referring

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.
