Want to go to jail for having a knife on you!!!!

Have I got your attention?
Customs is trying to stop us from enjoying not only assisted opening
knives, but all folding knives. What happens in these cases is that once
they shut down the imports, then they go after the carry laws for everyday
people, like all of us. They want knives banned in the USA.
Your help is needed to stop this action.
Please read and fill out these forms in the link that Spark has posted.
This is just about the only way we will beat this issue. It will take a
grass roots effort along with organizational lobbyists and lawyers.
In addition, a letter was sent out from AKTI.
Please read the AKTI talking points before you fill out the forms. It is
imperative that we stay calm and use the right wording when we address
this issue.
We are in the sporting industry.
This effort will cost an estimated $500,000.00.
Yes ----- that is a half a million dollars. Just to address a time
extension for us to have long enough to answer the Customs filing, it will
be about $100,000.00. Then the attorneys will have to go and fight tooth
and nail to show cause and address this issue with cases that are on the
books.
AKTI needs your donations of any amount to offset our rights to carry
knives. Please donate what you can. Time is of the essence here.
They have about 10 days to answer the customs filing.
This means they need all the loot that we can afford to give them.
I have to say one thing to you. If at anytime in your life you are really
needed for a fight for your freedom, this is one. Our freedoms are slowly
being taken everyday. WE MUST STOP THIS. They are trying to bulldoze our
industry into the ground and they do not care who it effects.
All Knives will then be like switchblades.
Freedom is not free anymore. We have to fight to keep it.
Here is the link to donate. Please help!

http://www.akti.org/
Pay with PayPal pay to akti@akti.org
Credit card or check:
https://p5.secure.hostingprod.com/@w...sl/donate.html
Please fill out forms from every organization. We stand as a group. The more we send the more it helps. Make sure to read the talking points.
Send to your congressman, customs, and every other person that they say will help the cause. Have your children and spouse help by filing.


If you have thoughts on how we can win this war, POST IT!

I have also written Senators McConnell and Bunning and Rep. Davis. I have not received a response from them. Usually Mitch McConnell responds regarding gun control, I'm not sure why he hasn't responded here.
