Let’s hope the courts never ask for a comparison of other “legal” knives on those attributes – even my little Buck Mini Spitfire. Just as concealable, with practice just about as fast to deploy for use in a “knife fight”, and I don’t see how it is any less “suitable for criminal use”.
And what the judges consider “regular knives”? Swiss Army pocket knives I suppose?
Disparate treatment; some people have arthritis or other disabilities. Denying someone a right to bear arms because they need a knife that opens easily is discrimination.
Even if you could find someone with such a disability and standing, they would like just re-write the law to allow for exceptions for “qualifying disabilities” like they did with crossbow hunting in NM.

I blame those darn Jets and Sharks, and their choreographed knife fights.

Using SD to get rid of a ban on auto knives is the wrong argument IMHO.
They should get rid of the ban because it’s fucking stupid!
