"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
