Nunchucks Are Banned in California...Except in Martial Arts Schools

[Your_Majesty]

In California, possession of an AR-15 -- the same gun that James Holmes used to shoot up a Batman premiere in Aurora, Colo. -- is legal, provided it was bought and registered prior to 2000. Possession of nunchaku, or nunchucks, however, is a felony -- no matter when they were purchased.

If I walk around with two AR-15s, one tied on each side of a rope, will I get arrested?

The most dengerous thing about it was the stick bouncing back toward me after the strike.

You're doing it wrong.

People buy katana swords in Cali without a problem.

You just said Katana Swords.

You need to shut the **** up.

I think that the law in China, as it was in 2007/8 when I last checked, makes a lot more sense.

Guns and bullets are illegal. Bows and arrows are illegal. Swords are illegal. Knives are illegal over a certain length. Sticks and batons seem to be legal and a lot of people have them and they can be purchased in army surplus shoppes.

I never go on a motorcycle trip without my collapsible baton in my pocket after the sword killing I witnessed (guy pissed off the mafia). Shuangjiegun (AKA Nunchaku) are legal as well and sometimes fights break out between youth gangs, who also wield knives and staves, machetes or swords, etc. But I have only seen guns here twice and both were home-made hunting muskets in the mountains.

Consequently, it is a very safe country to live in - unless you get hit by someone on the street, breathe the air in the big cities, drink baby formula (or water in many places), speak out against the government, **** with the mafia, get into a bar fight (20-1 fights common), etc. But you weren't going to do any of that, right?

Sword Swords? You're right LOL.

How about bo staff? Or Master Shifu in Kungfu Panda (yes, it was a guilty pleasure!)?

I'm trying to keep it in perspective and see it for what it means LOL.

What more can one do in the face of such ignorance?
