I think that the Greeks of thousands of years ago would be rolling in their graves with the antics of their descendents...

So instead of enforcing existing law, they pass absurdly restricting laws that by NATURE can not be enforced. Why does this sound familiar?

Gun control laws can be enforced, wonder boy.

Incidentally, this new litigation outlaws the Olympics as well. I smell an amendment comin' up.

Really clever kids could probably get out of most of school, with such a law in place.

Can, but aren't.

If they were, there wouldn't be three million illegal guns in the UK.

Tell me, do they enforce the bans on tasers, nunchuks, pepper spray, spiked wristbands (guess they ain't punk rawk), shuriken, and brass knuckles in Canada?

I meant it sounded familiar in the general similarities, and in the level of stupidity involved. They're obviously not EXACTLY the same.

THere's some debate as to the "reality" of these stories over at snopes.com. Apparently, some accounts say that this "law" has already been withdrawn due to public outcry.

Only two responses until gun control. A record! Uh, for threads about video games. Which are in the wrong forum.
