MINNEAPOLIS (CN) — Minnesota’s long-standing ban on switchblades faced a grueling test in federal court Friday, as a prominent knife advocacy group argued the ban slices right through Second Amendment protections.Knife Rights, a group currently engaged in nationwide legal campaigns against similar restrictions, contends switchblades — typically understood as an automatically opening knife — qualify as “arms” and are therefore constitutionally protected.The state, however, leaned on a narrow definition, arguing for a weapon to be considered a protected “arm,” it must be in “common use for self-defense.” Under this logic, Minnesota claims switchblades are uniquely situated for offensive maneuvers rather…

Why were/are international journalists almost immediately embedded in Iran to cover the details of the conflict, yet that same approach never took place in Ukraine. For Ukraine there was no daily reports on the fighting; no frontline reports with journalists in helmets and flak jackets; no…
