    I’m not aware of any state that has confiscated AR-15s from its citizens. Liberals can’t just ban all guns. You know this.

    LOL!!!!!

    very funny how you bring up very rare isolated cases, as the norm.

    not a very honest debate tactic

    that's a gut buster given you want to ban 30 round magazines based on a few cases where active shooters have used them

    Sure now. Again you, as often have no idea what you are talking about. First, it only takes 4 justices to agree to hear a case. Second, there is no standing presedent to your assertion on what you think they believe. Peddle your snake water elsewhere.

    I do-daily. Its legal in Ohio. the idiotic federal law is essentially ignored. I asked FBI counsel about that-I know dealers are getting switchblades from states like oregon and he said after Heller, the law is in on its last legs. Its an idiotic law

    Your cavalier hatred of freedom gets a bit old. You seem to think its ok to ban anything the YOU don't think you need.

    Why am I not surprised you carry a switchblade hahaha.
    You’re thinking is tired. Just because I don’t get upset over not being able to have a switchblade does mean I hate freedom. Such a cliche.

    do you have a point? you seem content with the existence of stupid laws. I've had years of training with knives. I prefer Randalls and Morseths for serious knife matters.

    I live in NYC and I feel no need or danger requiring the possession of a weapon.

    Hating freedom is inherent in gun banners. To believe in gun rights (or knife rights) requires a person to trust his neighbor, to believe your neighbor can have any firearm requires you to trust that your neighbor will behave properly - and that's the foundation of freedom. Gun banners believe people are not capable of acting properly, people must not be allowed to be free to live as they choose, and the govt must control people.

    Both good knive making companies. Fixed blades are certainly superior to any switch blade, particularly the old iconic Italian pick variety that caused the scare back in the 50’s. Which models do you have?
    My knife collection was appraised at well over $100k, I had a couple Randals, but primarily collected folders, some valued over 5k. I know a good deal about guns and ballistics, but know my way around knives for SD and have the scars that were the product of ‘on the job training’ as they say.

    "Others may feel differently" only because they don't want to acknowledged reality.

    Well, I care about my rights. I don't care about you or how you choose to live your life; but you want to strip me of my ability to make a different choice than you, and THAT has a very real "impact on me". So, you're just going to have to deal with it when I square off on you and tell you what I think of you and your self-righteous and totalitarian agenda.

    a dozen Model Ones, a model two, several 15s and 16s, A five. I prefer Benchmade, Kershaw, Myerco, and Protech autos since the MODs are gone. I have some nice Ontarios as well. other fixed knives, Dawsons, Shoemakers, SCARs, Minnick,

    my two best pieces-a Mike Bell cable forged Katana and a Howard Clark Katana (not the L6-but the more traditional high carbon steel)-my son has a korean sword of forged L6

    That's your opinion.

    Again, that's your opinion.

    Jim and Joyce Minnick make outstanding works of art. I still have the two Italians I carried when I was between 10-13. One I used to call my warm weather knife, the other, my winter knife; they were 13” and 15” overall. I had a smaller 9” that I could hit any target within 20’...I was inspired when I was young by the American movie, the Magnificant 7. I like the springs on the Protechs (had custom Godfather and Godson), but for anything serious I like my Benchmade Bedlam...ya scimitar for the hand. My favorite maker is a friend, David Broadwell, Texas. He makes some of the best Damascus for taking on an amazing edge...functional works of art...both fixed and folding.

    A couple of the knives made for me are featured in his photos.

    This amused me. The only issue is whether you've convinced yourself.

    I've provided evidence. You've accused it of being made up. I've asked for evidence. You've hid and gone into a routine of posting irrelevance.

    Except I’m not an advocate for banning guns or knives. Btw...My folding knife can cut just as well as a switchblade. Just saying.

    Sorry it doesn’t bother me that I can’t have a switchblade. I think I wanted one when I was 8 but grew out of that phase by 9.

    Nope. It's reality.

    Well, you need to understand that I won't allow my rights to be infringed upon. That's fact, not opinion.

    Your opinion is that I don't have a right to be armed, and I should meekly submit to having those rights summarily stripped from me. My "opinion" is that my rights are intrinsic to me, and no one has any authority to infringe upon or restrict those rights. I'm willing to fight to protect my rights by any means necessary. That's not an "opinion". It is fact.

    Yet another post filled with empty unsupported claims. You faith in government is naive and uninformed.

    “In an attack on how London helps criminals launder their money, Roberto Saviano, who has been under police protection since exposing the activities of Naples crime syndicate the Camorra, told an audience at the Hay Festival: “If I asked you what is the most corrupt place on Earth you might tell me it’s Afghanistan, maybe Greece, Nigeria, the South of Italy, and I will tell you it’s the UK.”
