And every time this law gets posted, I have to point and laugh at it.
The "electronic dart gun." The history of this thing is so absolutely hilarious, I mean, the mind boggles at these cretins that right this stuff. Back in the 70s there was a House Subcommittee on Assassination. I can't remember if it was the Director of the CIA or one of his juniors, but they brought this electronic pistol that fired a poisoned dart. Some idiot, some infantile, paranoid moron saw this and figured, "hey, I bet the NRA hands these out at their conventions!"

The Ballistic Knife, likewise, a knife in search of a crime. A totally ludicrous control freak inclusion.
There is no such thing as a "chuka stick." It doesn't exist. If they are going to write laws, the least they could do is get it right. "Nunchaku." Same with "shirken." Morons, scribbling laws about things that they don't even know how to spell.
