Amends the prohibition against carrying or selling a blackjack, slung shot, or metallic knuckles to instead prohibit their sale to or possession by persons under 18 years of age.
relative to repealing the prohibition on the possession or sale of blackjacks, slung shots, and metallic knuckles except by or to minors.
This bill just removes a previously unneeded one. The previous prohibition was badly worded and vague about what the items even are. Please pass this bill. Let them write a new one if they want to be clear about what they are trying to prohibit.
more weapons are not needed and there is no viable reason for some of these weapons to be in our society.
This bill? Absolutely Not. Do weaken the penalty for possession or sale of blackjacks, slung shots, and metallic knuckles to or by minors.
I oppose the repeal of prohibition on possession or sale of these weapons. I can't imagine how this repeal could promote public safety in our state. The Second Amendment doesn't mention these weapons, and I doubt that "well-armed militias" of the Revolutionary Period employed them. I believe it's true that slingshots were common weapons for armed conflict in Old Testament times. I think we're beyond any need for that form of combat in 2025. Please do not repeal the prohibition.
Why do we need these other than for violent use. I oppose this bill.
This law seems unenforceable. It makes sense to repeal it..
There is no reason for these non-lethal self-defense objects should be illegal for adults. The current law is out of step with current laws that allow for the possession of other self-defense tools such as knives.
Adult should not be restricted on the kinds of tools they choose to use to protect themselves. Period.
The system is working. Children should not be seduced into marriage before they are old enough to understand what it means.
Our Gun laws are perfect in this state!
There is no reason any law abiding citizen needs any of these weapons.
The objects (actually "tools") sought to be banned are all normal objects possessed by many citizens. These items are non-lethal objects or tools which can be used for self-defense. Common items such as metal pipes or ordinary tools are closely similar to these items, but are not illegal or regulated. The prohibitions on these objects and their definitions are antiquated and are no longer relevant.
I don't see myself going out and buying anything, but it's absurd that these are illegal.
