“Illegal weapons have no place in California,” said Bonta. “The settlement we have reached with Walmart makes crystal clear that online retailers are responsible for what they are allowing to be offered for sale in our state.”
A Walmart representative provided a statement, saying “We are committed to being the most trusted retailer. While we believe our policies and procedures comply with California law and admit no liability or wrongdoing, we believe this agreement is in the best interest of all parties.”
NOW: CA Attorney General @AGRobBonta @RobBonta announces that @Walmart has agreed to pay $500,000 via a settlement.
It comes following allegations Walmart and 3rd-party vendors sold brass knuckles to California consumers via Walmart’s website
“It’s unacceptable,” Bonta said. pic.twitter.com/YL70RgPkkU — Eytan Wallace (@EytanWallace) May 23, 2023 Like its internet-based competitor Amazon, Walmart’s website offers both products sold by the company itself as well as third-party retailers.
The Attorney General’s Office alleged that “approximately 250 products that may be classified as brass knuckles” were sold on the website and that approximately 60% were sold by Walmart itself

At least no brass monkeys were involved

WHEW. Now California is safe...
Just more madness from the peoples republic of Commiefornia.
For $500k, it would be worth it for Walmart’s lawyers to run it through the courts and overturn California’s illegal infringement on citizens’ inalienable right to keep and bear arms.
“Everybody was Brass Knuckle Fighting.
Those fists were fast as lighting
In fact,
It was a little bit frightning!”
How about illegal aliens? I guess they’re okay, huh? The MS13 gangs who hack up Americans with machetes are welcome here.
Or nunchaku.
$6.75 each via mail order, in black, brass, or chrome finish at https://www.wish.com/search/brass%20knuckles/product/5fec26bb74f63c270f576a70?source=search&position=12
But machetes in the hands of violent repeat felons is just hunky dory with them.
Oh, you beat me to it.
Where the hell does Walmart stock brass knuckles in their stores? In the camping or housewares section?
Like Gary Olson says, they’re used to beat down paperwork. LOL. I used to love Sportsman’s Guide.
From the www: “It is illegal in Los Angeles County to possess brass knuckles. It is also illegal now that the California Penal Code Section 21810 has been defined more clearly – to possess any type of knuckles that are used to be able to inflict a serious blow to another person.”
But using bicycle locks to bash heads might still be ok...
You can bring a child to California for brainwashing, cross sex hormones and genital mutilation, too.
Brass knuckles should be part of the weaponry of the Walmart greeters used on the shoplifters.
Or if you want something a tad more expensive: McDaniel Knives McKnucks. I want the pair with the holster, but I couldnt carry them so they would be just a nifty looking toy.
I guess its not enough that their stores get looted — they have to pay fines for “illegal” merchandise too.
I remember ‘Brass-Knucks’ from the late 50’s. Haven’t heard about them till now.
Bonta is a F**ing idiot. Loses case after case trying to confiscate guns.
