Man, talk about approaching the problem from the wrong angle! Unbelievable.

Who wants to start a betting pool to predict the next thing they ban? Myself, I'm guessing it'll be sporting equipment in public places. All your equipment will be safely locked up at the gym/field due to the risks of baseball bats and golf clubs etc.

(Either that or you'll need a special permit to buy steel chain; consumer grade chain will be nylon. Can't get a good swing with it, see.)

I would rather kill with my bare hands, less messy, no risk of blood borne pathogens and more intimate.

just saying.

Sanders/Grinders. They will be banned next.

better ban 3M wet/dry autobody paper too. and ceramic stones, and and and and and.........

Our government seems to want to follow right along behind. Or at least Customs does. Morons.

So you cant stab somebody.......so what! You could still slash somebody to pieces with that kind of knife. Inventor trying to make a couple bucks on a half assed idea. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

After years of working in the ER all i'm going to say is it's possible to impale anyone w/ anything.

Plastic toothbrushes. That's what's next. Why? Because you can rub them on the ground to sharpen the handle to make a stabbing weapon. They will be made out of rubber instead.

Anyone seen the movie "Equilibrium?" This reminds me of that. To stop violence, the people have to take an emotion suppressant so nobody can experience anger and, conversly, happiness. The lesson? Sacrifices need to be made for people to really be happy and government control is not the solution to all of our problems.

Exactly, the whole thing is ridiculous! Maybe they will make everything in the world out of nerf rubber so no one can hurt anyone anymore. I would have said marshmallows but Obama wouldn't allow it - he's gonna force the US to be fit so the fatty's don't cost us so much in health care <-- not kidding either. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> What is this world coming to? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

We MUST DESTROY THE POINTY END - THAT's THE DANGEROUS PART!!! <--- Idiots!

I just took a walk outside. In less than a 40' x 60' space, i counted over 3000+ things i could use as a weapon (improvised, direct or otherwise)

we better ban plants with flexible stalks and fibers, we would'nt want someone to strangle someone with it.

better ban socks too. I could fill one with pebbles or small rocks and cosh ya with it.

better ban trees and shrubs. I can make a thumping stick with a tree limb, or a spiky flail with certain shrubs.

better ban sand. I could throw it in your eye!

Is that model the " Test Team Version " ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

1984. It's heeeeeeeeeeeere.
