Massachusetts Overturns Decades-Old Switchblade Ban
State Supreme Court rules switchblades are protected under the Second Amendment, following recent Supreme Court guidance.
- The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court struck down a 67-year-old ban on switchblades.
- The decision follows the U.S. Supreme Court's Bruen ruling, which expanded Second Amendment protections.
- Justices concluded that switchblades are 'arms' and thus protected for self-defense.
- The ruling vacated charges against a man arrested for carrying a switchblade in 2020.
- Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell expressed disappointment, citing public safety concerns.
