Residents of Massachusetts are now free to arm themselves with switchblades after a 67-year-old restriction was struck down following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 landmark decision on gun rights and the Second Amendment.
The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decision on Tuesday applied new guidance from the Bruen decision, which declared that citizens have a right to carry firearms in public for self-defense. The Supreme Judicial Court concluded that switchblades aren’t deserving of special restrictions under the Second Amendment.
Georges concluded that the broad category including spring-loaded knifes are “arms” under the Second Amendment. The Bruen decision upended gun and weapons laws nationwide. In Hawaii, a federal court ruling applied Bruen to the state’s ban on butterfly knives and found it unconstitutional. That case is still being litigated.
