To carry or just to possess? I've always thought it was weird I can buy a gun at walmart but can't even be in possession of a throwing star.

As far as I know the law says you can't have a knife with blades set at multiple angles, I always assumed that was specifically referring to tire poppers but throwing stars just happened to fit the description too.

Damn those forefathers thought of everything. Maybe they meant ninja stars instead of guns??

The 2nd Amendment makes no mention of strangulation, nor edged / pointed weapons, nor firebombs. How careless of the Founding Fathers! (Note the absence of Mighty Mothers. Sad.)

Instead, the Constitution's authors and editors required that users of firearms be organized into a well-regulated militia. Like the National Guard unit I joined after my US Army service. Folks who want to possess firearms should be well-regulated, with monthly drills -- like the National Guard or Reserves.

Undisciplined shooters are more hazardous than untrained dogs and unschooled drivers. And when firearms, knives, and ninja stars are worshiped as holy objects, well... 8-(

It mentions arms , not guns. So it should cover swords bayonets knives etc….

Does your copy of the constitution not include the 2.5th Amendment?

"A well regulated Ninja Troupe, being necessary to the security of a free Dojo, the right of the people to keep and bear throwing stars and nunchaku, shall not be infringed."
