Court: Bali Ban Violates 2A
According to the Knife Rights website (kniferights.org), on Aug. 7 a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that Hawaii’s ban on butterfly/balisong knives violates the Second Amendment. Meanwhile, Knife Rights (KR) filed an amicus (friend of the court) brief in support of the appellants in the case of Teter v. Lopez.
In its decision, the Court reversed the district court’s judgment in favor of Hawaii and remanded the case back to the district court “for further proceedings consistent, determining that only “legislative facts” were relevant, and further development of the facts was unnecessary since the case presented only a legal question.
