[Botany]

These were banned after 1 death



these were not banned after >5,000 deaths

[PA Democrat]

1. Gee, and lawn darts were popular!

Paging Senator Toomey.

[Botany]

3. Our next door neighbor had 'em

We very quickly stopped the trying to get them into the ring to and
can we make them stick into an oak tree.

[TheBlackAdder]

30. We had them. I don't know how we didn't impale ourselves with them. We threw them everywhere.

4. Fuck lawn darts, have you tried to fly with 4oz of shampoo?

Shit, we all have to take off our shoes at the airport because ONE idiot thought he could takedown ONE plane, ONCE!

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. Be grateful that idiot "terrist" didn't stuff a cherry bomb in his butt. nt

[underpants]

25. BTW Calvin Trillin predicted the underwear bomber 3 years before it didn't happen.

31. That guy is hilarious!

Kept strategically inserting throughout his many, many writings, the claim that Arthur Bryant's BBQ in Kansas City was the best restaurant in the country. Many locals however insist that Gate's BBQ is better but I found that claim to be bogus based largely on a comparison of the sauces. I have to say though, his claim that Winstead's produces the best hamburgers in the country does have some merit.

Whatever...

His books Alice Let's Eat and American Fried are classics of American culinary commentary.

5. Sure

Don't you remember the huge political debate about if we let them take our lawn darts, they'll be coming for our horseshoes and hillbilly golf sets next?!?

[Botany]

6. But they will have to pry my cold dead fingers from my from my croquet mallet

[Rustynaerduwell]

7. 1: We decided that we cherish our children more than our lawn darts.

2: We decided we cherish our guns more than our children.

[FiveGoodMen]

20. Succinct and to the point!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

24. Remember this guy?

[PlanetBev]

8. I know a woman who lost an eye at three years old to a lawn dart

Glad they took those things off the market. Kids don’t need darts, knives or guns.

[llmart]

9. I know a woman who lost an eye at nine years old to a bb gun.

Her brother shot her in the face with it.

[BBG]

10. Sisters can be a pain

Just sayin’

[llmart]

27. Actually, in this case it's more like brothers can be a REAL pain.

I'm sure getting shot in the eye hurt a great deal.

I have three brothers and they've been a pain all my life.

[BBG]

28. Symbiotic Dysfunction among siblings

We agree to disagree.

[USALiberal]

11. Lawn Darts don't kill people, people kill people. Nt

[usaf-vet]

15. They have been watching to much of the little known video game "Lawn Dart Assassin'

"Lawn Dart Assassin" can only be bought on the black market or from video game vendors who will sell bootlegged copies.

The DVD extras section provided tips and tricks on how to make your Lawn Darts more effective as a weapon.

[zackymilly]

16. The only way to counteract the lawn dart violence is a good kid with a lawn dart. n/t

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

12. After Jayne Mansfield and two other died when

their car crashed into a tractor trailer, going underneath it and killing them, soon after all trucks had to install a bar to prevent that kind of accident ever again.

When someone tampered with bottles of Tylenol, putting poisoned ones in bottles in a pharmacy, resulting in seven deaths, we got tamper-proof packaging.

But guns? Oh, no. Can't restrict them in any way.

[calimary]

17. I remember that. You make a mighty good point, PoindexterOglethorpe.

A VERY good point. Same thing with the lawn darts.

Why can’t we do that about the damn guns?????

[milestogo]

14. Pepper Spray is banned in Wisconsin.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

18. But

LaWN dArTS ArNT iN thE COnStiTUsHun!!!

[zackymilly]

19. Reminds me of my older brother's Gilbert Atomic Energy Kit

It came with sources of radiation.

[William Seger]

21. The guns are doing what they were DESIGNED to do

We're not going to do anything serious about our gun problem until we repeal the Second Amendment.

[Calculating]

22. Yeah, and banning lawn darts was utterly stupid

Same for the airplane security measures over the shoe bomber. Bringing up examples of paranoid and misguided lawmaking isn't the way to convince people to ban guns. Lawn darts are literally the example people like to bring up whenever nanny-state laws are being discussed.

[underpants]

23. Yep. Michelle Snow. I thought it was more than 1

[Auggie]

26. If only lawn darts were part of the well regulated militia ...

[elocs]

29. The fly in the ointment is that lawn darts aren't mentioned in the Constitution.

But we all knew that already.

[MadDAsHell]

32. The genius of our government. nt

[pecosbob]

33. I wish the Magats would bring them back

It might improve the gene pool a bit.
