I really liked my Smith & Wesson SWAT knife. The steel wasn’t the world’s best; the Chinese-made blade held an edge like Shannon Richards holds a degree in nuclear particle physics. But the SWAT knife was an ergonomic dream come true (the knife, not Ms. Richards, although I’m sure that probably applies as well). More to the point (so to speak) the SWAT knife paired beautifully with my beloved Smith & Wesson 686 revolver. The knife and gun shared Quaker-like simplicity, pleasing heft and rock-solid robustness. Until the 686’s internal lock failed and the SWAT knife’s locking system gave up the ghost. Anyway, I’m building me an M&P for IDPA. I reckon the $33.29 (plus S&H) M&P Linerlock Knife would be a suitable edged accompaniment. Amazon acolyte AaronGH is not sure. In fact, you can hear him screaming (in a retro sort of way) DANGER WILL ROBINSON!

Am I missing something here about line item veto? The last I remember was that the POTUS does not have a line-item veto authority.
I have a 2 Smith and Wesson M&P M.A.G.I.C. Assisted liner lock knives, series 3 and series 5. Both cost about $30 give or take a few bucks and have a slide lock button to prevent them from springing open in your pocket. For the price point, they are a pretty decent knife. The series 3 I purchased with a tanto style blade, it keeps an edge fairly well and is very comfortable to use. It is my go to EDC.
I’m sorry, but this seems pretty pricey for a set of sights. Just becuase they’re steel? I’m sorry, that’s a pretty penny.
Tyler, I thought that your mom was going to get knocked on her backside. Please tell her that if she leans into the rifle, she has a better chance of remaining upright.
Good going, way to stand up to the big bad rifle! Randy
i have a better idea. how about only requiring a single form of ID: a genuine U.S. birth certificate. once you get one you can buy, sell, trade, carry, modify, manufacture, and possess any kind of conventional weapon both military and civilian, anywhere in the country, open or concealed, for the rest of your life.
the only restrictions would be if you are an illegal immigrant, in prison, on parole, or have a mental condition who’s known symptoms include bouts of violence.
The bombers never bought an “assault rifle” like the article implies. They bought a hot-as-hell Ruger with the serial ground off. Every law in every state in addition to federal law dictates buying a firearm with a defaced serial number is a serious crime. What they did was already patently illegal under current law.
“A 2011 federal study found that more than 1,400 people on terror watch lists tried to buy weapons from 2004 through 2010 — and 91 percent were successful.”
Who the hell’s fault is that? Sounds like the Feds have a list of people to watch and only cop to it after something horrible happens. They’ve only themselves to blame. And where was “homeland security”? Aren’t they the idiots supposedly protecting us within our borders?
Personally I’m waiting for manchin/toomey 2 co sponser feinswine, aka “the thrilla with godzilla” , Randy
I have what in my pocket? A S&W knife?
