A new Idaho bill would prohibit cities and counties from regulating knives – but not pitchforks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is an article by Clark Corbin at the Idaho Capital Sun on February 21, 2024 titled Idaho cities and counties would be prohibited from regulating knives under new bill. That new bill is H0620 from Rep. Jordan Redman, who says he carries a knife every day. (Is he the guy who brings a knife to a gunfight?) But the proposed legislation does not also include pitchforks, like the one shown above in the iconic 1930 painting American Gothic by Grant Wood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Playing devil’s advocate, for consistency I think pitchforks need to be included.
