Think of how many thousands of lives are saved each year by banning the nunchuck and the ninja throwing star.

[Zetzza]

Wow...this is what we talk about in our legal system? This is retarded...how could you possibly have a serious discussion on how dangerous a set of nunchucks could be?

Really? You need to have an intellectual conversation over this?

Wow....just....wow....

[ventmonster247]

I have nunchucks. But not for hurting people, but for protection.

[21thx12]

the media was gaga over her. its not just nunchucks she doesnt beleive regular people have the right to defend themselves. thats the same thing they have been pushing in our schools, if someone beets on u your not supposed to fight back just run to an authority figure. but its ok if u r a cop or the like. she and her ilk are not worth their own flesh and blood.

Why don't they just ban rocks too? If you throw them around, someone could get hurt. Oh and arms. You can hurt someone with them too.

@Fordtrucksown You can say that about ANY weapon. Once you've made the decision to kill someone, you're not gonna just give up cuz your weapon of choice is illegal. You'll probably still have one because killing is illegal, and it being illegal isn't stopping you from making the decision to do it. Even if you don't have your chosen weapon, you're gonna kill them one way or another. taking away nunchaku isn't gonna solve jack shit. And there are so many ways to kill it's not even funny.

[DerStadtschutz]

Wow, this is dumb. Nunchaku illegal, guns legal... So much easier to kill with a gun. But neither should be illegal. Just cuz some people choose to be assholes and hurt each other with these things doesn't mean everybody who has them will. Some are collectors, some just enjoy plinking targets. In the case of nunchaku and myself, I own nunchaku to learn to use them for fun and exercise, and because I find them interesting.

@loldianaaa Wrong, we should be discussing having these panty waste district attorneys to stop letting these criminals who use guns in crimes to cop plea bargains or drop the charges all together instead of pressing FEDERAL GUN CRIME CHARGES on these thugs like they should.

Guns aren't the problem, it's the criminals and lack of prosecutions that's the problem. Guns are good, criminals and panty waste D.A.s are bad.

[Andybaby]

Ban knives as well.

[loldianaaa]

You know what else can do a lot of damage? A gun! Seriously, we should be discussing the dangers of guns not fucking nunchucks.

[keverc]

we need to jump on this with both feet. i mean what if some crazy person went to i dont know say there local town hall meeting and all of a sudden pulled out a set of nunchucks and started just nunchucking everyone. i mean it could be really bad. lol next we should do away with silver ware and kitchen knives. lol why are we paying for them to sit and even ponder such things..
