SCOTUS Bruen Decision and Non-Firearm Weapons

bradsteen · Jul 25, 2022

While everyone seems to be focusing on the impact of the Bruen decision on firearms laws, "arms" as defined in 2A is not limited to guns. States have countless dumb laws on the books about knives (length, type, etc), brass knuckles, tasers, etc. Any thoughts on how Bruen might affect those? Does anyone know of any legal challenges outside of the firearm sphere (i.e. from knife manufacturers) that might get some traction?

Perhaps the Lee Zelden attacker will claim that his keyring blades are protected by the Bruen ruling.

Sure, why not? What got him in trouble was attacking someone; his method of doing so is largely irrelevant. Hell, I'm surprised they didn't call it an "assault keychain"... seems like a missed opportunity for the mainstream media.
