Just got this information in today from todays issue of the National Shooting Sports Foundation "Bullet Points" newsletter and thought I'd pass it along. I know it isn't about Sportsmans Guide, but it still relates to a threat by the Federal Gub'ment to outlaw certain types of knives:

THREAT AGAINST KNIVES . . . The fight to protect America's knives is continuing, with threats by some to classify assisted-opening knives (and all one-hand opening knives) as switchblades. The American Knife and Tool Institute has been working with key committees in Congress to address this issue. Currently there is a Senate amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill (H.R. 2892) that would add a fifth exemption to the Federal Switchblade Act. This amendment would exempt any folding knife with a "bias toward closure" from being declared a switchblade. Please visit the AKTI Web site (http://www.akti.org/) for more information on contacting your federal representatives to encourage them to support this amendment in the Senate and adopt it in the House version of the legislation.
