In most states the legal carry limit is around 2.5-4 inches, so it's not just the balisongs and switchblades. No I don't know why switchblades are illegal while folders aren't, considering I can open my folder faster than a switchblade anyway.
I also don't understand why society quietly accepts the banning of knives while at the same time going apeshit over any sort of gun ban. (We can't have a bazooka! WTF! Read the 2nd amendment! and so forth).
As you all know there are 2 schools of thought on the 2nd amendment. The popular one right now is that it guarantees every citizen the right to bear ARMS. Not guns, but ARMS, which means guns AND knives (and anything else - clubs, swords, maces, etc).
I've gotten in conversations with several people that bitch about the liberals wanting to ban guns and therefore violating the 2nd amendment, and when I flick out my spyderco and start asking them if they'd be OK if it were 8 inches longer, they start talking about banning knives.
