It is always easier to ban the possession of an object and proclaim that you have "done something" than to deal with a problem.

alright, first up artofninja (can i call ya artsie? ), lets not over estimate society. i believe that's 1,600 pounds of force per square inch, not 2,000 as for
"i dont see how nunchucks are that dangerous. i mean how are you gonna hold up a bank or something with nunchucks! and you need to be trained properly before they can do any really harm so....."
the grocery store by where i live was held up by 3 guys with nunchaku, and a few years before we had a video store held up by 2 guys with bo staffs

I could be wrong, but I think in some places like California, they are banned. Although to what exent, I am unsure.

We had a visiting instructor this week who did joolbong (nunchaku) with us. He was telling us that it's illegal to own them in Texas, but it's not illegal to carry a gun.

Alright, I'm probably going to start an argument, but I can't help it... Out of all the Americans here, what do you all think of the way your government's behaving??

and btw: i posted in the weapons forum and was told that almost everything could be used as a weapon. so the grocery store mentioned earlier could as well have been robbed by a well trained umbrella fighter. so it'll be best to forbid the use of an umbrella in public

well, remember that laws differ depending on where you are, but in WI, you can't carry a bo, a katana, nunchaku, etc. unless you're going to/from a dojo/dojang/kwoon/home/whatever. guns are absolutely forbiden down here in southern WI, but they get more leniant on that the farther north you get, until you get into the peninsula, where then same laws apply as below. and, for the record, at my school, ever since the whole columbine incident, we replaced all of our metal silverware with plastic eating utinsels (they keep breaking on the food ), and we actually aren't allowed to carry umbrellas in the school! when you arrive, you have to put them in your locker or in the office. this is cumbersom as my school is made up of two buildings. we have bins filled with umbrellas at the main doors of each buildings, but it dosen't much help as they're usually gone by the time most people get there. they also have a ban on all sorts of other stuff, and all sorts of things keep getting confiscated; from paper swords to necklaces with bullets on them from the civil war. 3 boys were suspended last year for 2 weeks for running around in the forest (on school property) with toy guns (they were shooting a movie for film class). it's really gotten out of hand.
