    Are they calling for knife control?

    I expect Democrats to do that.

    Knife control already is extreme and FAR stricter than firearms in most states.

    In Florida a person with a 4 inch or longer knife or any double side bladed knife (dagger) has committed a major felony. Even just having 2 inch knife in your pocket with a serated blade is a felony.

    "It is a crime to carry a concealed weapon. Concealed weapon means any deadly weapon that is outside of sight of others. Courts have found that deadly weapons are weapons that can cause death or grave bodily harm. So, what kinds of knives counts as deadly weapons? What is a “common pocket knife? Well, the law doesn’t say so it is up to the courts to determine.

    The case of Porter vs. State in 2001 found that a pocket knife is a “common pocket knife” only if the blade is less than 4 inches in length and the knife is in the closed position. Police found Porter with a 4 inch folder knife in the open position in her purse. She was arrested for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and found guilty. She appealed stating that the knife is a common pocket knife but the appeal court turned down her appeal. This means that, if a pocket knife is over 4 inches and in the open position, it is a weapon and excluded from being a “common pocket knife.”

    However, if the pocket knife has too many features, it might not be a “common pocket knife.” The case of F.R. vs State in 2012 found that 3 inch pocket knife with serrations, a notch grip, hilt guard, and locking mechanism does not count as a “common pocket knife.” If his knife did not have serrations, a notch grip, hilt guard, and locking mechanism, it might of been a “common pocket knife.”

    In addition, a CCWer could have a 45acp and Glock 9mm - but a propelled blade is a felony.

    "Fla. Stat. § 790.225 (2012)

    § 790.225. Ballistic self-propelled knives; unlawful to manufacture, sell, or possess; forfeiture; penalty

    (1) It is unlawful for any person to manufacture, display, sell, own, possess, or use a ballistic self-propelled knife which is a device that propels a knifelike blade as a projectile and which physically separates the blade from the device by means of a coil spring, elastic material, or compressed gas. A ballistic self-propelled knife is declared to be a dangerous or deadly weapon and a contraband item. It shall be subject to seizure and shall be disposed of as provided in s. 790.08(1) and (6)."

    Conceal Carry does NOT cover any prohibited knife, which including anything with a blade of 4 inches or longer, any knife with a hilt, and any knife of ANY length with a serrated blade.

    Swords, sabers, cutlasses also are 100% prohibited concealed or in the open. So a person could walk around with a 30 shell Saiga 12 gauge shotgun, and have a dozen pistols concealed, but having a 6 inch blade hunting knife on your belt covered by a jacket is a felony crime.

    Why would liberals pursue anti-knife laws when they already have them?
