Why would you think that protecting oneself would be illegal?

Then the price of a car to get an automatic weapon

The price of the weapon was not the argument. The argument was whether one can legally possess an automatic firearm in the state of PA, which one can, easily.

Who was having an argument? I was simply adding to the conversation

Yes, there are perfectly legal means to accomplish this

And it starts with about $20,000 on average for a "cheap" automatic, assuming you want to tote around a rifle or a submachine gun. But if you want an automatic pistol...well...you better have a lot of money. To my knowledge only the Beretta 93R is on the registry, and there are single digits of them and even dealer sample (not civilian legal or transferable) are $250,000+. A civilian transferable 93R is probably going to be close to $1,000,000 if one shows up for sale.

My first thought too. Wonder who pushed for that? With all the crime, seems a bad idea. Can cities, such as Philly, override the law? If so, that's good in a way, but bad too, since it will lead to less uniformity of the law across the state. To be clear, they should be kept illegal.

There is no reason automatic folding knifes should be illegal.

You can actually get arrested if you carry any kind of knife in Philadelphia. Even a tiny keychain Swiss Army knife can land you 90 days behind bars

That’s fucking lunacy!

Don't worry, if the cops think you're "reasonable" they'll just let you go. No room for extreme bias in enforcement there!

Figures. I always carry a knife too. I’d definitely forget to take it out of my pocket because even NYC permits it

Philly always disclaimed other counties firearm concealed carry permits until that was struck down as illegal. Its not surprising they think they can make up their own rules for pocket knives also.

Because if I were to be stabbed, I would be extra upset that it was a fully automatic switchblade.
