- February 24, 2013, 19:11:42 PMYou know King Louis XIV in the late 1600's banned pointed knives to control street violence... of course it didn't work, but these blunt knives turned into table knives. History repeats itself... at least whenever politicians start thinking they are kings and we are serfs.

- February 24, 2013, 18:42:48 PMSo I guess suspenders, neck ties, belts, and bras will be on their way out too.....suspenders, belts, and neckties could feasibly (if you are a politician) be considered a weapon with which to strangle someone............and some bras, (please forgive me here ladies, my fingers know not what they type)some bras, could be used as slingshots of lethal caliber...... 
and (uh-oh) so could rolling pins wielded OW! by OW! housewives whose husbands' OW! fingers know OW! not what they OW!-OW! OW! type!!

- February 24, 2013, 18:25:29 PMIt was my understanding UK was/is considering banning GLASSES in pubs... moving to plastic cups... because GLASS can be used as a weapon. It sounds like the UK has more than its fair share of Bloombergs and Piers Morgans!!

- February 24, 2013, 11:15:18 AMI think Ohio has similar fireworks laws. You can buy and sell, but you can't set them off. But, they don't usually care.

- February 24, 2013, 10:38:15 AMWhen I was younger I lived in Connecticut for a while. Don't know if it's still like this, but back then it was legal to buy or sell a radar detector, but it wasn't legal to own one. That's a tricky one!

- February 24, 2013, 10:08:21 AMwe also have bans on fireworks, for the most part of the year but it is not really enforced.
I'll not get into all the "laws" about riding your snowmachine that are coming are in effect....

- February 24, 2013, 06:40:45 AMIt's getting beyond crazy..we are not allowed to buy or sell a sheath knife with a blade longer than 4" but we can buy or sell an axe, a 10" kitchen knife and a kitchen cleaver..
The latest thing they have banned are those paper chinese lanterns that you set fire to and let them float away because they could set fire to something when they return to earth.
Fireworks are only sold to over 18 year olds and only for the week before November 5th Guy Faulks night, or what we now call fireworks night.
I think each time another member of parliament gets elected they think up another crazy law so that when they get voted out they can say "that was my idea."
