I know this is political but Urgent!!!!

The CBP (Custom and Border Protection agency)
has proposed a new act to redfine a switchblade. The 63 page document is open for public response, but the agency will only accept hard mail and on top of that, only gave us 30 days to respond and the deadline is June 21st. They must received the response by Saturday the 20th!

The act will redifine the meaning of the switch blade and the way it is written will make all your folding knives illegal to OWN! This is an outrage and we need to let them know!

Click this link to read about it and get sample letters to send to your congressmen and a Hard copy to the CBP.

I cant really believe that they could ban all foldimg knives.????
Next it will be box cutters/steak knives/????????????/
How can they get it through?Better yet let try to sneak it under and pass it then tell all American Citizens surrender your pocket knives. they will say: Boy Scouts "come on give em up" can just hear it now.
