Why Switchblades Are Banned A rather lengthy but informative article about switchblades and what prompted the "Federal Switchblade Knife Act" to pass in 1958. The article covers the history of the switchblade, how it played it's part during World War II, the legalities, the ban and the situation today. http://indefinitelywild.gizmodo.com/why-switchblades-are-banned-1704050416 "Second Amendment enthusiasts are adding a new front to their right-to-bear-arms battle: Knives. In particular, the infamous switchblade, which has been banned by federal law since 1958. Why all the fuss? Well, it all dates back to racism, xenophobia, class warfare, and political theater."

Dicks in Freehold would not sell me .223 ammo tonight without my FID card. As matter of fact, I could not purchase any other ammo except 10, 12 or 20 gauge shotgun shells. Reasoning? Well a constitutionally illegal one as far as I'm concerned, but Dicks reason is New Jersey's ban on the sale of hand gun ammunition to anyone without an FID card. How am I supposed to enjoy my 2nd amendment right if I can't purchase the ammo necessary to exercise that right? Just go get my FID right? Yeah, I'm sure there's a few out there that are going to say that. Let's just forget about that train (ing) of your thoughts for the moment. Through (what a sad joke) exemptions a person can transport their guns to and fro from their home to their place of business, or gun range, or hunting grounds. Well how the $%^& are you suposed to shoot targets without ammo when you get there? Maybe that person is suposed to pretend that there is ammo being shot and make those sounds kids used to make on the playground. (I digress, today those kids would be subjected to, arrest, counseling, expulsion, put on pills and turned into a zombie by the school system). I can just see it now at Range 14, some jerk wad making those sounds and recoiling as if a real round was being shot. Again, how is a person suposed to exercise their 2nd amendment right without ammunition? Your not. Clearly the Constitution has been trampled, and I fear...truly, truly fear that it's too late for a return to true freedom. Here is what the "New" freedom is. We are free to: Think we're free. Be interrorgated prior to practicing our unalienable rights. Pay for that interrogation. Receive a right as indicated by an "ID" card. Pay for a different ID (hand gun) to enjoy that right. And each additional one. Pay for a NICS check, today, and again tommorrow if you decide to get that other gun you wanted. Buy ammo, with an FID card, then have your purchase logged into a record book. Ad nauseam As I wrote this, the thought crossed my mind that the proposed new ammunition law, A588, is really going to be a cash grab under the guise of protecting the police. I fathom to believe that the law is going to be like an announced toll increase. Like when the turnpike/parkway commission announces a toll hike of 100%, people **** and moan, the commission then says oh, ok just a 50% increase, the people go whew, the commission guys high five, laugh their arses off and go to Myrtle Beach for a round or two of golf. Well gotta go get ready for the range tommorrow. Pachew, pachew, pachew, zing, zing, pop, pop, pop, pop. Criminals always find a way......
