My biggest complaint about lawn darts is that they were way too dull out of the box. A bench grinder fixes that up nicely! :)This is why I LOVE Friday threads - LOL.

silly rabbit! There's no money in that. And so I bet they will be lets say open to closing an eye for a fee. Only the corrupt would enforce this to start with.

The “Ruling Class” of elitists knows better than we do, and have a right and a duty to substitute their superior goals and decisions for ours. That’s how they think. I think we have a right to live our lives unharased by those we elect. The founders did as well.

Toy-related accidents killed 18 children in 2007
November 13, 2008
Reporting from Washington — At least 18 children younger than 15 died in toy-related accidents in 2007.
Most of the deaths were caused by blocked airways, drowning or accidents involving motor vehicles, according to Consumer Product Safety Commission data. Many of the incidents were not caused by the toys but occurred while the children were playing.
Fourteen of the 18 children were boys.
Five children were killed in tricycle-related incidents — one from a fall, one from a motor vehicle accident and three from drowning after falling into pools while riding.
Another child died from complications after falling into a pool while riding a battery-powered vehicle. Two drowned while playing near water — one with an inflatable toy and another with a toy boat.
Four children choked on rubber balls and two on uninflated balloons. One boy died after he inhaled a rubber dart, and a 6-month-old suffocated when he fell off a bed onto a stuffed toy.

The Rats won’t be happy until they have sealed us into a regulated rubber room.
In the meantime, they refrain from doing something actually useful, like sending out lists of the hazardous items so a purchaser knows what to watch out for.

The Resale Roundup is being enforced under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed into law last year.

“The Resale Roundup is being enforced under the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act, which Congress passed and President George W. Bush signed into law last year.”
Yup. And that’s why some of us became Libertarians.

The initiative, which targets toys and other products for children, enforces a new provision that makes it a crime to resell anything that's been recalled by its manufacturer. You'll have to pry my lawn darts from my cold dead hands.

Sounds to me like this is a serious problem. We should have a Bazzar Czar and at least 20,000 unionized inspectors to oversee this illegal black market now. If just 1 child is spared having to suffer the trauma of getting a defective toy, well how can you really put a price tag on that?It's for the children, baby. For the chil-dren!
