Massachusetts Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell expressed dismay at the Supreme Judicial Court’s decision to overturn a ban on switchblade possession. In a statement, she emphasized the dangers of switchblade knives and the need for laws to keep people safe. Campbell highlighted the Legislature’s decision to pass a law prohibiting the carrying of switchblades as a common-sense measure. She vowed to continue working at the State House and in court to enforce laws that prioritize the safety and well-being of Massachusetts residents. The Supreme Judicial Court’s ruling has placed state courts in a challenging position following the Bruen decision. Campbell’s disappointment underscores her commitment to upholding laws that protect the people of Massachusetts. She stressed the importance of keeping dangerous weapons out of public possession to prevent harm and maintain public safety. As the Attorney General, Campbell will persist in her efforts to ensure that laws are enforced and followed to safeguard the community from potential dangers associated with switchblade possession.
