Focusing on guns, politics, and news of interest, here is today's Second Amendment News Roundup:

Texas Fred reports that the taxpayers face HEAVY losses from the bailout of the auto industry.

Now It's Knife Rights That Are Under Attack

I received this communique last evening from Knife Rights concerning the latest example of government encroachment on citizen rights:

This is not a spam message. We need your help.

Below is a link for a page on kniferights.org. It gives model letters "SEND ONE" and info on what's going on. If you're not already aware, this has already happened in Europe, Australia and England, but that's another item.

The synopsis: U.S. Customs / Border Patrol have proposed revoking earlier rulings that assisted opening knives are not switchblades. The proposal would not only outlaw assisted opening knives, its overly broad new definition of a switchblade, would also include all one-handed opening knives.

Yes, that's right -- ALL pocketknives that you can open with one hand, period. Don't think it's not real, it's been ongoing, just not well known.

IMPORTANT: There is a 30-day window, which ENDS JUNE 30TH in which an extension must be obtained, so that the movement itself can be squashed for another few years.

Take a few minutes, spread this info to everyone you know, and then create a letter and actually send it.

The below link will provide you with full details of the story.

If the link doesn't work, simply visit kniferights.org and view the story there.

You also need to support and or view the story on the AKTI.ORG site. They help keep knives in your pocket. All major knife manufacturers have dealings with and or are members of the AKTI.

The A merican K nife and T ool I nstitute is what the NRA is for guns.

In closing, you know, I have never abused your email information and have a strict email content policy. I only write about items found on the Unique Blade, Inc. website, but I strongly believed you would want me to let you know, about an issue, as serious as this one, hence the reason for this email. I am in NOT being paid or receiving any special benefits by mentioning the site's above and for that matter they have no idea that I am.

Please believe the story and write the letter. WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AND BE LOUD! Our knife rights are on the line. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF IGNORING THE ISSUE. Do something and you better do it now.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT.

This is a government attack on the right to self-defense. Give these good folk some help if you can, but mainly, spread the word.
