I hope this is not going to be a fad that sweeps the nation...

[2banana]

I think DC should ban all darts and pipes (except to those who are politically connected)

[RedBloodedAmerican]

They've been caught

It's time to close the blowgun-show loophole! A 10 day waiting period on the purchase of these weapons would cut down on incidents like this.

An ol' fraternity brother of mine used to have one of these blowdart contraptions and he'd be able to nail a squirrel from 30 feet. He was a Chemics major, so we used to plant rumors that he used to fill hypodermic needles with various toxins and would go around a Party looking for victims...LOL!! There wasn't the least bit of truth in those rumors, but whenever we partied just a bit too hard the night before and blacked out or got sick, we'd blame it on the blow darts )=^D!!

FReegards...MUD

Watch out for the curare.

Pranksters? Sheesh.

Now we've pissed off even the Pigmys.

"A handful were concentrated along the District's New York Avenue, part of U.S. Route 50, which serves as the city's main northeast gateway for commuters and tourists."

Not one of DC's most attractive or pleasant "gateways".

[Cachelot]

There was no evidence the darts had been tainted with chemicals or toxins

So, how about biologicals?

A friend bought me a blowgun as a gift a couple years back, it was pretty high end as blow guns go, and the long darts that came with it were razor sharp.

It's amazing just how powerful they are, I like to target practice on an old dartboard I have. It is not uncommon for the darts to go all the way through the dartboard

[rintense]

I saw this on Xena last week- except the darts were poisonous.

[Consort]

Brady Blowgun Law? Blowgun registration?

[wattsmag2]

Sounds like a full "blown" epidemic.

[LibWhacker]

Would you guys believe blowguns are already outlawed in California? I tried to buy one mailorder 25 years ago and was turned down.

[tracer]

Probably just a practice run in preparation for an overseas trip home to visit the family.....

[N. Theknow]

Someone was cleaning it and didn't know it was loaded.

Then again....9 darts indicates a banana clip and a modified blowgun made to fire in the full automatic mode.

Plans and modification kits are probably available on the internet.

[kennyo]

I've seen these mades by ex-cons.

[szweig]

Thank G*d the good state of Kalifornia has banned blowguns...so this could never happen here. Phew!!! SSZ
