Wild, wild west: bringing knives to gunfights. (And knife fights, and fist fights, and girlie slap fights.)

Arizona’s transformation, and the recent lifting of a ban on switchblades, stilettos, dirks and daggers in New Hampshire, has given new life to the knife rights lobby, the little-known cousin of the more politically potent gun rights movement. Its vision is a knife-friendly America, where blades are viewed not as ominous but as tools — the equivalent of sharp-edged screw drivers or hammers — that serve useful purposes and can save lives as well as take them.
Nice. A bunch of wannabe Crocodile Dundees walking around with pig-stickers strapped to their belts. What could go wrong?
