Item: Minnick makes point about knives: Idaho congressman demonstrates spring-assisted knife to members of House panel in bid to derail Customs rule/Bill Spence, Lewiston Tribune

More Info: Rumors that Idaho Congressman Walt Minnick pulled a switchblade on the House Rules Committee may be slightly exaggerated. But he did pull a knife. Minnick, together with Rep. Robert Latta, R-Ohio, met with the rules committee late Tuesday, seeking approval to attach an amendment to an appropriations bill. The amendment would have blocked a U.S. Customs effort to change a 50-year-old definition and reclassify certain spring-assisted knives as illegal switchblades.

Question: What do you think of Congressman Walt Minnick pulling a knife to make a point before the House Rules Committee?
