Protection is not the reason for this law to be relaxed, im guessing. Our corrupt and feuding legislators dont care if we are protected or not. Look at the fuss lawmakers have been making about guns and all the skewed statistics and advertising by msm against gun ownership. They’ve demonized ar style guns, magazine size, bayonet lugs and any other silly but ‘scary’ attribute in a media blitz against them even though they amount to a small fraction of crimes committed by guns. No, their stance is just call 911 and we will help you out of any occurring crimes which is a joke.

This has to be something else. I was reading a bit to learn that microtech knives had a facility in bradford pa that has either closed or is closing. The reason the company sites is that they have trouble finding skilled labor. Perhaps they wanted to expand their line into automatic knife manufacture there. The current law would not allow ownership or manufacture so could this be be a last ditch effort to sweeten that deal?
