AG Nessel Dips Into Hawaii Case Not Even Knowing Michigan's Laws

So our Democrat Attorney general Dana Nessel, decided to join in an amicus brief supporting the appeal of the overturn of Hawaii's ban on butterfly knives, calling them exceptionally dangerous weapons (quick clue, they're not).

The Detroit Free Press: Hawaii seeks to reinstate butterfly knives ban: Nessel, attorneys general support state

Here's the fun part:  Butterfly knives are completely legal to own in Michigan, as indeed they are in most states.  As long as they are openly carried in Michigan it is perfectly legal to not just own it but carry it, too. Michigan also allows out the front automatic knives and switchblades as well, the horror.

I certainly hope it is pointed out during the appeal that this "extremely dangerous weapon" she complains about is perfectly legal to own in her own state of  Michigan - and neither has the sky fallen here nor has there been a rash of ballisong attacks.

Of course, she could try arguing that Hawaiians are either dumber, more dangerous, or criminal-prone than Michigan residents, but given Detroit and other  Democrat-dominated crime zones, methinks that argument has been dulled. Verily one would think that the court should disqualify anything she has to say on the matter on those grounds alone.
