And why doe we have retarded laws? Yep, they're made by the retarded politicians WE vote into office.

Laws that were passed by politicians elected long before I came along..sadly the ones I help send there are just as worthless. Yet I still vote...

Have been looking over some automatic knives I could carry in lieu of my smaller spring assisted pocket knife when I felt the need to carry it. Anyone familiar with the law regarding these?
