Kelli is a friend and, IMHO, the best and hardest working state legislator in the nation. I am hoping she will challenge McCain in 2016.
Why would Arizona have a ban on obsolete weapons?
You know what’s so stupid about banning suppressors on guns? Most of it is probably movie logic. The reality is, movies exaggerate how much a suppressor reduces the sound of a gunshot. Plus a little noise reduction is good for your ears, plus it is good for a distant neighbor not to hear something as loud when someone is doing rural target practice or hunting.
Teddy Roosevelt, while in his home in Oyster Bay, the lovable old money section of Long Island, NY, had a Winchester Model 94, made with a ‘detachable suppressor’, in response to his neighbors complaining about the rifle’s report, when he would sit on the porch, and dispatch gophers and groundhogs on the family property.
There are some interesting asides about “nunchuks” (Nunchaku) that are amusing. With rather nebulous origins in Okinawa, it is popularly thought to have been invented as a flail used to thresh rice or soybeans. However, in a very amusing note:
“Peasant-origin nunchaku proponents also suggest these innovators were not so much rebellious as attempting to be capable of a surprise defense against overzealous tax collectors’ visits gone bad, or other perilous scenarios for which they were otherwise perpetually unarmed.”
Sounds familiar.
In any event, when used properly the action of nunchaku is not disputed, as its motion creates impressive force delivered to a very small area, which can produce significant injury.
Surely I’m not the only one who thinks all but the ones forbidding convicted felons from purchasing them are obsolete?
Heck, if you could put them on a list and delete the ones that were inspired by the boogieman in the closet, the list would probably be blank.
