After over a decade of Knife Rights’ efforts, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed HB 1418 that enacts Knife Rights’ signature Knife Law Preemption in the state, becoming Act 161. The bill adds “Knives” and “Knife-making components” to the state’s existing Firearms Law Preemption statute. The new law is effective 91 days after the session ends, scheduled for April 11, but the session can be extended.

Knife Law Preemption is a Knife Rights’ criminal justice reform effort that repeals and prevents local ordinances more restrictive than state law which only serve to confuse or entrap law-abiding citizens traveling within or through the state. Preemption ensures citizens can expect consistent enforcement of state knife laws everywhere within a state.

Congratulations and our thanks to Rep. Joey Carr and Sen. Terry Rice for their support and successful sponsorship of this important bill. Thanks to all who used Knife Rights’ Legislative Action center to hep move this bill forward. Read more

Knife Rights and its fellow plaintiffs have filed their Motion for Summary Judgement in their federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of portions of the Federal Switchblade Act (Title 15 Chapter 29 §1241) under the Second Amendment.

The Plaintiffs have requested that the Court issue an order finding the Federal Switchblade Act is unconstitutional and that the challenged aspects of the law involving restrictions on interstate commerce and on Native American reservations, as well as U.S. territories and government lands, be permanently enjoined. The lawsuit does not challenge the existing import ban which would not be disturbed.

Originally enacted in 1958, the Act restricts the introduction into interstate commerce of common automatically opening (“switchblade”) knives. It also bans their possession on Native American reservations and in U.S. territories and on U.S. lands. The definition of a “switchblade knife” includes gravity knives and butterfly knives.

Knife Rights has filed a federal lawsuit challenging Minnesota’s complete ban on switchblades (automatically opening knives) on Second Amendment grounds. 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.

Joining Knife Rights in the case are Knife Rights members David Johnathon Draeger, Cameron Wallin Sjodin and Kevin Crystal. Plaintiffs are represented by attorneys John W. Dillon at the Dillon Law Group and Harry N. Niska of CrossCastle PLLC.

Named as defendants are Keith Ellison in his official capacity as the Attorney General of the State of Minnesota as well as the chief law enforcement officials in the counties where the individual plaintiffs reside. The lawsuit, Knife Rights, Inc. v. Ellison, was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota.
