Just got this in a NRA e-mail

Quote

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a proposed rule change that directly targets the importation of "assisted opening" folding knives. (Read the proposed rule here.) The proposed regulations would designate all these knives as "switchblades" (despite the fact they do not fall under the federal definition of "switchblades"), and would make them illegal for import into the United States.
The proposed rule could affect all knives that can be opened with one hand, because it also includes changes in the interpretation of "gravity and inertia" opening knives in a way that could outlaw all knives that can be opened with a single hand. This means the new regulation could ban the importation of most of the pocketknives that are now in popular use.

it never ceases to amaze me, how the government can try to restrict such petty things, yet fail to capture one terrorist (Bin Laden) and not really seem all that concerned with more important issues such as national security. Habib isn't going to whip out his pocket knife and whittle up a bomb.

The email also had a clip in it about nearly 50% of the states top Law Enforcement Officials signed a letter to the US attourney general to NOT reinstate a semi-auto weapons ban. So, even the police don't really mind semi-auto in the hands of the general public.

What about the pocket knifes with the little tab on them. They aren't mechanical at all and can be opened by your thumb with one hand.

Butterfly knives are already illegal to import, you can only buy American made.

Ban guns and knives and you have 20000 less ppl killed in a year.

You want to be free to have a gun to protect yourself against other people that have a gun. It's fucking stupid. If nobody has a gun, your family and yourselft will always be in security.

You have like 25000 homicide/year in US vs 500 in Canada. More gun = more ppl killed, its just logic.

Your logic is flawed and I'm frustrated everytime I see "Everybody should be allowed to carry a gun because of the constitution". With that thinking its normal that you don't feel safe anywhere. If I know that every fucking retard in the street has a gun, I would not feel safe too.

If only criminals have a gun, its less dangerous that everyone with a gun. Less gun, less fear, less homicide. When one of your children will be killed by a retard in the street that was allowed to carry a gun (it was very important to you to be allowed to have a gun), I wonder how you are going to react. Maybe children should have a gun too... humm, good idea. They should carry it at school in case of a virginia tech situation.

I know this thread is about knives, but I had to give you my 2 cents.

Don't consider this post if you think my logic is flawed ... I'm probably just a stupid and a fucking Canadian and a French Canadian faggot who never owned a gun and never feel the bigger-penis-when-I-have-a-gun-in-my-hands.

Good night

i wouldnt like you even if you werent french. but you are, so that's strike 2. im glad your in canada. fuck the french.

the news doesnt report any of the incidents where a civilian who was carrying stopped a crime. thats a fact. its fucked up that they dont because it would encourage people to not commit crimes. but if no one did criminal shit, the news wouldnt have anything to report. its a self propagating cycle.

Teg2boo, less guns doesn't not equal less homicides, criminals will always have guns, they will not register their firearms, and they will not buy firearms with that have been registered. They are criminals, they do not abide by the law. In BC here it is damn near impossible to have a handgun, and guess what, in my small town there are a few homicides a week.

Washington DC has one of the higher murder rates in the country, and it has basically banned all firearms

shogun · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2009, 01:01:48 AM »

here in my country its illegal to carry a pocket knife longer than 4", but you can legaly carry automatic handguns, and as many clips of any capacity that you want

you can find cheaper 30rnd clips than original beretta ones 17 rnd ones

Criminal will always have gun I agree. But its not only criminals that kill people.

Criminals want money, they don't want necessarily to kill you for nothing.

Less gun = less homicide is a fact. If at least the gun is harder to find, the retarded kid who wants to kill everyone then to suicide will maybe not do it.

Gun gives power. Maybe the

who is poor and can't get a job will not holdup if he doesnt have a gun.

You don't fight fire with fire. You can with an explosion, but its another story

Then?? There are no 10M criminals Corey can't you understand this? If only 100k ppl have a gun the chance you get killed by a gun is equal to have an accident on an empty road.

100k / 300M = almost no chance to be killed. And 100k criminals is kinda big estimation.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, I forgot I was on another planet.

Doug · « **Reply #24 on:** June 14, 2009, 01:32:52 AM »

^ You do realize just because they ban them it won't stop them from getting used by criminals. Where do you think all the current guns will go? No to mention now you have created a demand for a black market which then gives people a reason to kill you to take your gun.

Teg2boo · « **Reply #25 on:** June 14, 2009, 01:39:03 AM »

I know its hard to remove all the gun, kinda impossible...

Criminals will use it, its a fact. But in canada we have criminal like in every other fucking country, but only them have a gun.
If they want to steal your money they will do it because citizens don't have a gun. Nobody got killed, you call the police, your insurance and you get your money back. /problem

I you think I will risk my life or the life of my family for 100$ or even 1000$ fuck that.

"Yeah, but its my money" yeah, but this money can come back in your pocket a day or another. Life will not.
