DOJ Defends Federal Knife Ban
BY Herschel Smith

Mark’s theory: the DOJ is surreptitiously taking the unconstitutional side in order to drive this case to SCOTUS and get a ruling favorable to the second amendment.
My message to Mark. Stop it. Just stop it. Stop claiming that the DOJ is playing 4D chess. They are not. Pam Bondi has some lawyers running loose doing the bidding of the gun controllers because she (and Trump) is at heart a gun controller.
Besides, what about the possibility that the SCOTUS doesn’t grant certiorari and the district or appeals court agrees with the DOJ arguments? In that case, it becomes a case that can be referenced by other district and appeals courts, even if not binding.
This whole thing is stupid – that is, assuming that the DOJ is on our side. They have defended the NFA, and now federal knife bans. They are not on our side.

You can always count on the supporters of the Trump administration to come up with some version of “Trust the Plan.”

Developments in law concerning edged weapons deserve scrutiny. Over in Britain, the authorities have banned a variety of knives and made their use in self-defense illegal, even inside one’s home. They are now rumored to be considering a ban on pointed knives such as steak knives. Which rule would reduce Britons to eating their food with safety cutlery not unlike children use!
Because of encroaching rules and laws about knives as well as various bans of firearms, aluminum baseball bats are big sellers over in the U.K. – not for playing American baseball, but as tools for home defense.

Does not matter who is running the show as per our elections. Bureaucrats will always favor rules to keep the proletariat unarmed and not dangerous to criminals. Which they all are.
