Federal law is still a problem
We should use the term "automatic" instead of "switchblade" since it has a better connotation.
My understanding is that they cannot be legally imported into the US, and cannot be shipped across state lines except to a dealer. So a Texas resident must buy from a Texas resident or a Texas retailer. I have not been able to find any online Texas retailers that sell them. I used to see them occasionally at gun shows but I'm not going to another gun show until some of the hysteria from last year settles down.
