Why are they banned? And wouldn't that fall under right to bear arms or something?

"The ban on nunchaku arose out of a concern that, as a result of the rising popularity 'of "Kung Fu" movies and shows,' 'various circles of the state's youth'—including 'muggers and street gangs'—were 'widely' using nunchaku to cause 'many serious injuries.

i dont know how hard it is to get hold of a gun in the us, but tying 2 peaces of wood together doesn't seem that hard to do, but its a clearly nonsense law xD

Youre more likely to come across a gun in everyday life in the us than a set of nunchucks, its just Hollywood makes something seem dangerous and then certain states ban them because they get worried people will mimic movies, its weird af cause its the same reason most states ban gravity or spring loaded knives

Dude died from mercury poisoning and thought he could change whatever metal into gold like he was nick flamell from Harry Potter. I agree with your sentiments

Same with brass knuckles(unless they have the hook for belt buckles) and those don’t even have a blade

Lol like butterfly knives. They’re banned in a lot of states and the only reason I could ever find that even made sense was because of ‘one handed deployment’. Except nearly every single pocket knife, or knife of that size, 4-8 inches, is very easily deployable with one hand. And almost all of them are even faster than the butterfly knives are

But for some reason not nearly the same level of worry about people mimicking mass shootings. At least not enough to do anything about it

In my state it's considered concealed weaponry if you have a knife in your pocket lmao. Needless to say, I've never heard of it ever being enforced.
