They need to register umbrellas there to keep them out of the hands of criminals.

If a cop sees someone in a mall with a dry head, it means that the person HAD AN UMBRELLA at some point and should be questioned.

New TSA screener memo: check dryness of head

Don't forget the anvils. Dangerous weapons...of mass destruction. In Mass., pretty soon you'll need a permit for Q-Tips.

I can just see what type of wizard thought he saw a rifle.

"Hey man. Like the dude has a rifle over there. Or maybe it is a curtain rod. Like way harsh dude. I wonder if I can make a bong out of a rifle?"

When umbrellas are outlawed, only outlaws will have umbrellas.

I could understand the panic if in addition to the umbrella, he was wearing a steel lined bowler hat...

The result of this panic will be 3-day waiting periods for umbrellas.
