Makes it illegal to submit a falsified bill to a government agency.

The False Claims Act was enacted in 1863 in response to widely prevalent, massive, defense procurement fraud, in which defense contractors were billing the government for subpar services and goods. The False Claims Act allowed private citizens with knowledge of such fraud being perpetrated on the government, to come forward to share their knowledge in litigation against the fraudsters, and also share in the recovery of any money.

What is tu qouque?

This fallacy is committed when it is concluded that a person's claim is false because 1) it is inconsistent with something else a person has said or 2) what a person says is inconsistent with her actions. This type of "argument" has the following form:Person A makes claim X.Person B asserts that A's actions or past claims are inconsistent with the truth of claim X.Therefore X is false.The fact that a person makes inconsistent claims does not make any particular claim he makes false (although of any pair of inconsistent claims only one can be true - but both can be false). Also, the fact that a person's claims are not consistent with his actions might indicate that the person is a hypocrite but this does not prove his claims are false.

Because it is illegal to sell them in Maryland, and because Federal law makes it illegal to sell them over state lines, the only way to obtain a switchblade for a Maryland resident is to travel to another state where it is not illegal to sell or possess switchblades.
