Knife Rights Sues Minnesota over Unconstitutional Switchblade Ban
Knife Rights has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Minnesota’s complete ban on switchblades (automatically opening knives). Despite the Supreme Court’s binding Second Amendment precedent, the State of Minnesota virtually completely prohibits the manufacture, transfer and possession of common automatically opening knives. The sole exception to this ban is for possession “by museums or collectors of art or for other lawful purposes of public exhibition.” The State’s ban denies individuals who reside in or visit Minnesota their fundamental, individual right to keep and bear these common, constitutionally protected arms.
