I mostly meant knives, stun guns, mace and pepper spray. I think the whole idea of legislating for stupidity is... well,
stupid. Maybe power tools were not the best illustrative tool. Also, I'm not sure what the point of this thread is if not to (a) discuss our personal reactions to the news of the ban being overturned or (b) discuss whether or not we believe gun bans should ever be in place. Am I crazy?
P.S. It's funny that you should bring up martial arts weapons... except for the swords, I think almost all of the weapons used in martial arts were just ordinary farming implements wielded for self defense because of weapon bans.
