2A Amicus Briefs Filed in Knife Rights’ Federal Switchblade Act Appeal

2A Amicus Briefs Filed in Knife Rights’ Federal Switchblade Act Appeal

Amicus (Friend of the Court) briefs supporting Knife Rights’ Fifth Circuit appeal of the ludicrous District Court decision in our lawsuit challenging the Federal Switchblade Act on Second Amendment grounds have now been filed. These briefs are similar in nature to those filed the week prior in our Ninth Circuit appeal challenging California’s ban on switchblade (automatic) knives with a blade 2 inches or greater. Knife Rights really is the Second Front in the Defense of the Second Amendment™.

The next step in this process is the Department of Justice’s reply brief. Recall that the Trump DOJ continued the Biden DOJ’s anti-Second Amendment position in their final reply brief to the District Court, despite the change in administration and the President’s executive order “Protecting Second Amendment Rights.”  Knife Rights hopes that perhaps this time around the DOJ will reconsider its Biden-era positions and follow President Trump’s EO in its brief to the Fifth Circuit.

I’m glad to see this. I think people tend to forget that blades are arms and their restrictions pre-date many of our firearms laws. All arms laws are unconstitutional and it’s good to see these challenges being made.

Knife Rights may really be the First Front in the defense of the Second Amendment.
