You ridiculous hateful partisan.  This law passed with overwhelming bipartisan support.  Do you understand what that means?  Wow.   :roll: 
From your own link:

But the easy-to-open knives will soon be legal after Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed a switchblade bill that passed the politically divided General Assembly with overwhelming support.

Widely outlawed in the 1950s due to the perception they were the preferred weapon of street gangs and juvenile delinquents, proponents have rebranded switchblades as “automatic knives.” They argue the knives have many common uses, especially for tradesmen and first responders who may need to cut something with only one hand free, and little connection to crime.

The bill that got near-unanimous support from state lawmakers simply removes switchblades from a list of weapons Virginians are banned from possessing or selling.

Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw, D-Fairfax, said he didn’t see what all the fuss was about, because the knives were commonplace when he was young.[/quote]
