Yea, the fundamental retardation is, they think making weapons illegal will deter terrorists, murderers or rapists. You know, the same people who do all the shit that's already illegal and much worse than a weapons violation.
But then the retarded politicos would have to face the fact that the problem aren't weapons but people, i.e. the very same 3rd world hordes they've let through the gates and who they fetishize every single day.
To be fair, banning guns does work to reduce gun violence among certain ultraviolent demographics.
But it's probably impossible to ban them from having any weapons whatsoever, since so many things can just be improvised weapons. So there's diminishing returns.
The switchblade was banned after the movie Concrete Jungle came out and nunchaku after Enter the Dragon. Movies are the primary resource for politicians knowledge
Devils advocate: Movies, and now games, are also the primary way that previously obscure weapons become popularized with the kind of people who misuse them.
It's not a new thing. The book The Jungle in around 1906 was the reason the FDA was created. Industrial food production was still relatively new so most people who read the book believed that most packaged food had dead rats and human fingers cooked into it
It's not retardation though, it's outright malicious intent. They want the peasantry disarmed, terrified and actively hunted by the feral animals they've imported into the country.
“You can’t have things that might be repurposed as weapons because the incompatible barbarians we imported will inevitably use those things to commit violent crimes. As a bonus, the natives who are mad at us for importing those incompatible barbarians will be unarmed and incapable of harming us, the one’s who did it.”
Goddamnit now I'm going to be distracted thinking about the flight characteristics of circular saw blades until I take a few out into the woods to try it.
Some lunatic actually rigged up a way to put a giant one on a car axle and intentionally launch it off as a sonic the hedgehog joke, so I know they can roll.
Turok 2 literally had a weapon that was entirely that, a circular saw you threw like a boomerang, and it was awesome.
Though that was a game where almost every weapon was awesome. Its been 30 years and still no FPS can reach how good the Cerebral Bore feels to use in terms of making my enemies suffer.
Dead Space's Ripper has a secondary fire that shoots out saw blades, though it's less useful than its primary function of suspending a spinning blade three feet in front of you.
A lot of states don't have beastality laws. It's not because politicians think it's cool to fuck animals, it's just no big enough case has happened to make a law about it.
Politicians are reactionary and tend to pass laws based on the modern thing.
it's just no big enough case has happened to make a law about it.
But that's just more proof they're retarded. Their reasoning is the reason they try to ban "assault weapons," and define them by features like grip style and stock.
ninjas used modified readily available tools as weapons like farm equipment so using circular saw blades as throwable weapons just like the shuriken would fit in to the spirit of a ninja weapon. ,
Shut up! Next, some libtard who’s never handled a power tool in his life—besides priming the bull for his wife—will demand we ban saw blades because “there’s no reason to have one besides ninja assassinations.”
If you are sincerely making the argument comparing a shuriken, designed for throwing, to that of a circular saw blade which is fixed into a frame for purpose then you're just as retarded as the politicians you are whining about who argue any and all property should be confiscated by the government "for your own good".
Have you never been to a hardware store? New blades are sold individually packaged. But that's not even the point, it's that banning things that looked scary in 80s ninja movies was retarded. Doubly retarded now that we can legally carry superior firearms in most places where silly ninja stuff is banned.
Most laws like this also ban certain types of knives, most commonly balisong/butterfly knives. Most places admit they're not more lethal, it's purely because they're intimidating.
Australia is one of those places, and right now there's a push by the local MSM to try and crack down on "zombie knives". You know, the impractical decorative shit? Like it can still cut, but it's no worse than a normal knife/machete. It just intimidating.
These bans reveal the truth of pretty much all bans. It's not based on rational belief, it's based upon irrational fear.
Ubisoft finally releases a ninja Assassin's Creed game, and then politicians are in a moral panic over ninja weapons? Totally unrelated, of course, but hilarious.
I swear to God if I need a license to have a circular saw in the near future I'm coming for you.
They do want to ban that and table saws.
I'd agree they're retarded just that this isn't the best example of their retardation.
At this point, it's retarded all natives aren't allowed to open carry shotguns considering the barbarians they left in..

To be further fair, what happened to knife violence when gun violence decreased?

Don't forget teflon coated bullets after a lethal weapon movie showed them "going through anything".
Or the ultimate weapon: "the shoulder thing that goes up". Nobody should wield such power.

Not that we needed any more.

the natives have been fighting with pint glasses and bottles since times immemorial, at this point its a cultural thing

Hey it's not flying the whole time but this video does demonstrate their impressive rolling speed. https://youtu.be/9bGuG2RTEGY

I guess being reactionary could be another one to be retarded
They do, but that’s not the reason.

I saw the movie 3 ninjas as a kid
Don't give them any ideas. I don't want to cut wood manually ever again.
hand saws are banned too, check your privilege
Imagine cutting a hole in it, and using it like a hat. Like a modern Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat.

Come on now. You know the kind of person making this argument has never done any sort of blue collar work.
Autistic retard alert.
Op: 'Baning this is stupid, besides it's functionally the same as this tool'
You: 'you are as bad as the politicians wanting to confiscate property because of that comparison'
???
Do not underestimate the idiocy of a british politician.
Footballs designed for throwing. Should we ban those next?
Indiana is like that you have to go to Ohio to get throwing stars
It's kinda hilarious that throwing stars and switchblades are banned in a state where you can carry a concealed pistol without needing a permit.
Several years back, a Wyoming gas station I stopped at was selling crossbows. A whole nother world in the Midwest. Some might say a better world.

What about a pizza cutter?

A saw blade would be rather awkward to throw like a shuriken.
