I bought nunchakus when I was a kid. Hit myself in the temple the first day I had them and quickly lost interest.
They have been hanging on a nail in my basement for years and every once in a while a friend notices them and can’t resist playing with them. It always sounds the same. You hear the sound of the chain swivel for a minute or two and then then the groan as maple meets wedding tackle.
Good times…good times.
Oh, great! Perhaps now one will be able to legally own an ancient agricultural flail designed for threshing grain, but which can also be used as a second-rate, improvised weapon that is vastly inferior to a good knife.
Still, it might eventually be a victory over ignorance. Eventually. Maybe.

So, now they’ll have a list of approved nunchaku, and of various “assault nunchaku” features prohibited within the bounds of the state of California?

I’ll keep to pistols. Whenever I handle those things I get the horrible feeling I’m going to clobber myself in nunchakus with them. Yeouch!

I assume that only the militia established by the State government can arm people in nunchaku, then?

I was just thinking about that earlier today while the Taliban were shooting rockets at us…

Yep “Arms” does not equal “Gun”, and despite what the anti-gun dorks say guns are not different than anything else.

I knew a guy (it wasn’t me, I swear) that knocked himself clean out the first time he practiced with his chucks.

This is why you get the fake rubber ones to practice with first. And once you get good with them…they are pretty bad ass in a CQB situation.

All things being equal, the knife is inferior to the nunchaku.
