Maybe agenda is a bad word but I'm curious if AKTI is planning any legal action to oppose newly enacted knife laws.(The new Boston ordinance is an example.) I understand that their funds are limited but they could try NRA style fund raising. I'm not well off but I would be willing to contribute. Perhaps some manufacturers would be willing to contribute as well. Also, do you think that we should organize a letter writing campaign to companies that make multitools and knives but don't belong to AKTI?
 
I'd like to know too. If you would, please post your question in their forum here as well. I'd really like to know what they've been up to in these "dark days" for the cutlery industry and pocket-knife carriers alike...

Professor.
 
Once these laws are enacted they are almost impossible to get rescinded. The knife community is no where near as organized or vocal as the NRA and so does not have the power to stop these laws from being passed. Unless there is a concerted effort on the part of all knife people to stop the anti-knife lobby, we are going to see more and more of this type of law being enacted. I do not know that even with this effort on everyone's part if we could stop the anti-knife juggernaut, but without it we have virtually no chance at all.

If the above sounds pessimistic, just look at what has happened recently. Restrictive knife laws are becoming the norm.
 
C.J. Buck has explained the actions taken by the AKTI in the AKTI forum. I have also posted a reply there....
