KNIFE RIGHTS: “Fail! Maryland AG Defends ‘Assault Weapon’ Ban Citing 19th Century Bowie Knife Ban”

Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh has acknowledged in a brief to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that knives are “arms” covered by the Second Amendment. Unfortunately for him, he tried to use a ban on Bowie knives from the 1800s as an argument that Maryland’s ban on “assault weapons” is legal. According to Knife Rights, “It’s an argument that just doesn’t make the cut.”
