Federal court declares New York ban on nunchucks unconstitutional

 

Quote

NEW YORK — A federal court says New York’s ban on nunchucks, the martial arts weapon made famous by Bruce Lee but prohibited in the state for decades, is unconstitutional under the Second Amendment.

Judge Pamela Chen issued her ruling Friday in federal court in Brooklyn.

I literally lol'd. I wasn't aware NY had such a ban or that one was even needed.

Yet New York's ridiculous knife laws are still on the books.

Have you seen the amount of damage the Foot Clan did in Manhattan in 1990 alone?

At least Michaelangelo can come out of the sewer and fight without fear of being persecuted on his 2nd amendment now. He can throw away that stupid grappling hook now

Uh nunchucks are illegal in many jurisdictions around the world. I’m baffled at the reaction to this thread.

Seriously... and they are illegal because after Bruce Lee and the kung fu craze of the 70's, fools were knocking themselves out and concussing themselves trying to use them  Many self sustained injuries were caused because of them.

SHALL NOT INFRINGE

[CastlevaniaNut18]

Probably because no one hears about nunchucks being used in mass murders.

 

Same reason no one knows or gives a shit about knives, swords, or even staffs.

It’s the United States in 2018, we assume you’re smart enough not to kill anyone with these but you aren’t

I thought you were kidding, but the WaPo article on the topic goes into a bit of detail.

 

The 70s were a weird time man. New York was banning nunchucks and repealing the ban on pinball machines.

Oh no I wasn't kidding at all  They're still banned in London I believe. I remember trying to buy some as a teenager and was told that they were illegal. Meanwhile every kid in my school had a "Rambo Knife"
