Countless times throughout the day, the help of a portable folding knife is needed by many. Perhaps the most popular example of such a knife is the spring-assisted pocket knife. Clicking open with the flex of a hand, these knives are practically the same thing as automatic knives, or, more commonly, "switchblades." However, switchblades are illegal, despite a cheaper, more legal alternative being available that acts almost exactly the same. This ban sprouts from the infamy switchblades earned in the 1900's, appearing in many movies as the weapon of choice of gangsters. However, they are now widely accepted as useful tools by most people--but not the government, apparently. Sign this petition to make switchblades legal once more and render these knives accessible to all in PA!
