Atlanta, GA – –-(Ammoland.com)- Blaine Smith, an associate editor at America’s 1st Freedom Magazine, is the recipient of Knife Rights’ 2012 Freedom’s Voice Award.
The honor was presented at the Knife Rights Sharper Future Awards Breakfast on June 9th at the BLADE Show in Atlanta, Georgia.
The annual Freedom’s Voice Award honors a journalist or journalistic team in the general or non-knife industry media that has demonstrated a commitment to fair, accurate and insightful coverage on an issue involving knife ownership.
Knife Rights chairman Doug Ritter said, “Mr. Smith is recognized for his ‘Will Knives Fold?’ article that appeared in the December 2011 issue of NRA’s America’s 1st Freedom Magazine. In this in-depth, feature-length article, Smith connected the dots for NRA members, between their long fight in defense of the Second Amendment and our more recent efforts in the Second Front in Defense of the Second Amendment.”
The article explains that knife owners face “startling parallels to the anti-gun movement” and calls on NRA members to take note and support this fight. Smith relates the sordid history of knife control efforts, the formation of Knife Rights and what we are doing to roll back irrational knife laws and fight against new knife restrictions, both in state houses and in the courts.
Knife Rights believes its goals to preserve and enhance the rights of knife owners make sense to most citizens, if given a fair airing.
“We honor Mr. Smith for providing a very readable accounting of the issues and for the effectiveness of his call to action,” said Ritter.
