Bats and clubs next. Ultimately, carrying of any non-Nerf object will be criminalized. And legs and arms. Limbs can be deadly weapons. Heads, too.
Their going to try to repeal the laws of gravity before long.
And I carry a tactical flashlight — 500 lumens I think. It’s actually a low powered laser. Instant (temporary) blindness if the light hits someone’s eyes.
Some bad guy starts something in a plane I’m on, he will be instantly blinded. Then game on!

Cost me all of $10 on Amazon. :)

Which ones are the assault knives?
They usually like to apply that label onto things to make them more evil and menacing.
Well . . . yeah.
eliminate balloons
All well and good, but who will protect us when we’re attacked with fresh fruit?
