OK lets talk America...

Lately the government has been pissing us all off... with the recession, and political leaders taking away or rights that are in the bill of rights and constitution, like the bill that MIGHT be passed to make it illegal to have assisted opening knives and certain guns... and in the bill of rights it says we have the right to bare arms and it doesn't say we cant bare any particular arms... so why the partial ban on a right we've had since the beginning of the America???

and for the recession we all know how is to blame for that one... and to tell you the truth i could care less who's in office as long as the the bill of rights and the constitution stand with out infringements and bull s***... also the free-ness of this country must always stand...

I see no improvement from when bush was in office and now.... nothings happened... there worrying about people carrying cool knives and not how our economy is crap...

I say we start fresh and get every one out of the government and send them to some island no ones ever heard of and let the TRUE Americans run this country... now dose any one have a plane???lol

The statement that there may be a bill outlawing assisted opening knives is false. The US Customs Agency is crafting a "Regulation" with that goal in mind. This process circomvents the Congress and the American people.
This administration is getting it's far-left agenda implemented through this process. They know that Congress would not be able to stand the political pressure if they tried to pass these as "laws".

Save the plane fare, we can go to Texas, where the government is taking steps to keep its citizens free.

Amen, Nick. Recently, I started a knife collection for my grandson. I don't like to think about what this country will be like when he gets older. I'm sure that most of us were brought up to respect the law, but it's getting harder and harder to do that. We all need to continue/start to stay in touch with our state and federal representatives to let them know that they need to stand up for common sense. I don't consider myself a radical, but I'm getting more outspoken about our rights as an American citizen......DON'T TREAD ON ME!

I recently found out about this from my boss at work. he is a avid knife collector and i have a small collection of swords. in one of our nightly discussions, he mentioned that this failed system called government is trying to disarm us once and for all. from what i've read and seen thus far, its only knives but i know swords will soon follow suit. i currently have five blades in my possession. i have a training boken (wooden sword) two katanas (dull blades) and two replica anime swords (one of which is bigger than me) if the failed system wants to try and take my babies from me, they will have to pry them from my cold, dead hands. if they do pass this law, i feel that i must (even if i'm alone) make my way down to D. C. and tell them that they may as well take the rest of our so-called rights away and we can swear our loyalty to the Fuhrer Obama.

this whole thing started with complacency, too much and too often, people took their rights for granted.

I plan on doing everything I can as an individual to stop this.

a free man in a free society should have the freedom to defend his life and his property in any way he sees fit, no matter if he chooses a katana or an MP5 the choice must be left to him in society must respect his choice as an individual.

The collectivist do-gooders have to beat made to understand that they cannot and will not be allowed to take our individuality any longer.

I am. I think. I will.

My hands . . . My spirit . . . My sky . . . My forest . . . This earth of mine. . . . What must I say besides? These are the words. This is the answer.

I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest. I wished to know the meaning of things. I am the meaning. I wished to find a warrant for being. I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction.

It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth. It is my ears which hear, and the hearing of my ears gives its song to the world. It is my mind which thinks, and the judgement of my mind is the only searchlight that can find the truth. It is my will which chooses, and the choice of my will is the only edict I must respect.

Many words have been granted me, and some are wise, and some are false, but only three are holy: "I will it!"

Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.

I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth. And my happiness needs no higher aim to vindicate it. My happiness is not the means to any end. It is the end. It is its own goal. It is its own purpose.

Neither am I the means to any end others may wish to accomplish. I am not a tool for their use. I am not a servant of their needs. I am not a bandage for their wounds. I am not a sacrifice on their altars.

I am a man. This miracle of me is mine to own and keep, and mine to guard, and mine to use, and mine to kneel before!

I do not surrender my treasures, nor do I share them. The fortune of my spirit is not to be blown into coins of brass and flung to the winds as alms for the poor of the spirit. I guard my treasures: my thought, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.

I owe nothing to my brothers, nor do I gather debts from them. I ask none to live for me, nor do I live for any others. I covet no man's soul, nor is my soul theirs to covet.

I am neither foe nor friend to my brothers, but such as each of them shall deserve of me. And to earn my love, my brothers must do more than to have been born. I do not grant my love without reason, nor to any chance passer-by who may wish to claim it. I honor men with my love. But honor is a thing to be earned.

I shall choose friends among men, but neither slaves nor masters. And I shall choose only such as please me, and them I shall love and respect, but neither command nor obey. And we shall join our hands when we wish, or walk alone when we so desire. For in the temple of his spirit, each man is alone. Let each man keep his temple untouched and undefiled. Then let him join hands with others if he wishes, but only beyond his holy threshold.

For the word "We" must never be spoken, save by one's choice and as a second thought. This word must never be placed first within man's soul, else it becomes a monster, the root of all the evils on earth, the root of man's torture by men, and of an unspeakable lie.

The word "We" is as lime poured over men, which sets and hardens to stone, and crushes all beneath it, and that which is white and that which is black are lost equally in the grey of it. It is the word by which the depraved steal the virtue of the good, by which the weak steal the might of the strong, by which the fools steal the wisdom of the sages.

What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and the impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

But I am done with this creed of corruption.

I am done with the monster of "We," the word of serfdom, of plunder, of misery, falsehood and shame.

And now I see the face of god, and I raise this god over the earth, this god whom men have sought since men came into being, this god who will grant them joy and peace and pride.

This god, this one word:

"I."
