    Michigan Legislature votes to legalize switchblades

    Lansing – Michigan’s Republican-controlled House on Tuesday unexpectedly voted to legalize switchblade knives for Michigan residents.

    The legislation is now on its way to Gov. Rick Snyder and would scrap a longstanding ban on knives that use springs to open after the Senate OK’d the plan in April saying that the danger of such knives was overblown.

    House lawmakers voted for the legislation 106-1, with Rep. Rose Mary Robinson, D-Detroit, the sole dissenter. There was no debate.

    Meatchickens knife laws are insane. I'll be suprised if tricky Dick signs it.

    It happened before, it can happen again.
    It happened there, it can happen here.
    It happened to that person, it can happen to you.

    That ought to make quite a few folks that are here from Mexico pretty happy. Next...open carry for Machetes to please the Muslimes. I myself, never saw the fascination with a switchblade. But, they shouldn't be illegal.

    The Gov't issued me mine on my first deployment, when running convoy's they said you needed a blade you could open one handed in case you got rolled and only had one hand free t get out of the belts. I also learned as long as you are Military, LE, or a first responder you were allowed to have a switch blade even under the old laws. That included Retired Military who being retarded still have ID to prove they are retarded.
