Unofficial Poll: Brass Knuckles?

[Truthiness Inspector]

And throwing stars. And long knives.

Nunchuckus? Bayonets?

Where do the brass knuckle supporters here on DU draw the line?

Who should carry the above and why?

1. Any one still living in 1956 on the set of Blackboard Jungle.

2. Laws banning brass knuckles are silly.

They're concocted by jackass politicians who want to score points by going "RAWR, I'm Tough On Crime!!! (TM)"

3. Brass knuckles are passe; too fascistic.

Nothing says 'I'm being paid by a U.S. Gov't agency' like having brass knuckles. A short bayonet is much better, everything considered. I can see the utility of throwing stars, though any hubcap will do in a pinch. A car's antenna works well as a stand-off weapon.
Once you get under the hood, you can hang 'em with PCV hose and timing chains. Or brake line. It's worthless unless on video though.

4. Brass Knuckles don't punch people in the face and cause massive damage.

PEOPLE punch people in the face and cause massive damage.

You can take my brass knuckles off my cold, dead, and slighty green hands. When we outlaw brass knuckles, only outlaws will have brass knuckles
