#8  Don't forget two things. The first was that Obama & co. were planning to use a Mexican treaty to ban US guns, and Border Patrol regulations would be a big part of that. So the knives issue might be a test run.

#7  What about forks? They can be dangerous too, ya know.

In Obamaland, it's plastic spoons and baby food for everyone!

#5  This is a stealth attack, and probably more widespread than let on. This is a "Pearl Harbor" attack, since it would cover the entire US border within several hundred miles inland, which is within the Border Patrol jurisdiction. That is about 90% of the US population.

To make matters worse, many other police authorities base their regulation on the BP regulations.

#4  This is insane. Does your second amendment apply to this? How does an unelected person like that one have the power to make or change a law?

I thought the USA had a constitution.

#3  They're just looking for one more piece of straw for the camel. You'll know they're close when they work to ban rope and lamp posts.
