  • Update 2025-02-06 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Ban Resolution Clarification

    • Ban Definition: Any ban on possession, sale, transportation, or manufacturing of knives with pointed ends qualifies as a ban.

    • Allowable Exceptions: Some exceptions are permitted and still count as a YES resolution.

    • Exclusions: Narrow bans, such as knife zones, do not meet the criteria.

Can you lay out some resolution criteria please?

Ban on sale? Ban on possession? Ban with some exceptions? Action short of a ban which the government/media spins as a ban?

@Fion (a brief summary of the article would be nice, too, to save us clicking through)

@Fion A ban on either possession/sale/transportation/manufacturing counts. Some exceptions are OK and still allow the market to resolve as YES.

But narrow bans like knife zones don't count.

and that's why Americans must never give even an inch on the 2nd amendment
