The following assault weapons/techniques are used in the Olympics

[PopeyeII]

1) javelin
2) hammer throw
3) archery
4) fencing

Heaven knows there's no dodge ball and water polo will soon be banned.

1. Have you seen California's list of pistols it banned as "assault weapons"?

Then promptly UN-banned as emergency legislation to stop the chilling effect the previous law, known as Senate Bill 23, had on Olympic type target shooting?

See http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=12001-13000&file=12125-12133 and scroll down to section 12132, or search for "anschutz".

BTW - Welcome to DU.

[alwynsw]

2. Welcome to DU

You forgot to mention Biathlon and the various target shooting events. I'm certain that the long range rifle events would fit the definition of sniper training for some on this board.

And let's not forget those nasty handgun and airgun comps.

[PopeyeII]

3. Thanks all for the welcome.

In short I'm a dreaded rebel libertarian. Don't tread on me and keep your dog off my lawn but do you have any rolling papers?

[Wickerman]

4. You should be fine unless you mention

Jarts or lawn darts. I got a real problem with Jarts - you could put an eye out.

[FeebMaster]

5. Don't listen to this authoritarian Jart Grabber.

The Jart ban will fall, weapon of choice of gang members or not.

[OpSomBlood]

6. You can have my Jart when you pry it from my cold, dead eye socket.

n/t

[Wickerman]

8. ok, keep it

:scared:

[Wickerman]

7. Admit it

there is no sporting use for a Jart. Why do you need all that aerodynamic styling and pointy points? Fetishism, thats all it is.

The ban will never fall! I'll not have you fetish fondlers hold my family hostage only that you jart jockeys might sit about and choke your chubbies drooling over so called Outdoor Skill Games for Adults. Its just sick.

[FeebMaster]

9. I admit I love Jart porn

but I don't think we should be banning aerodynamic spears just because some people don't think they have a sporting purpose.

[Wickerman]

10. oh, for Gawd's sake

would you think of the children? Please?

[FeebMaster]

11. I am thinking of the children.

I hope that someday, future generations of children will live in freedom and be able to play a good game of Jarts in peace and liberty.

[Wickerman]

24. There can be no liberty OR peace

as long as we have the menace of Jarts to contend with.

[DoNotRefill]

27. All we want is peace...peace...peace....

A little peace of Poland, a little peace of France...

[OpSomBlood]

12. This is an uncanny satire, by the way.

You've got the technique down to an art.

[Wickerman]

15. sorry

you must be on Hasbro's payroll. Your lunatic asswipe lawn missle gang is always trying to minimize the dangers of Jarts and now you are trying to belittle my 1A rights.

You won't muzzle me, buddy boy.

[-..__...]

32. What about Sniper Jarts.?

Long range (effective to 200 yards).



The bigger the Jart, the bigger the penis.

[CO Liberal]

13. If You Can Find a Story...

...about someone trying to rob a bank or murder someone with a javelin, hammer (non-carpentry), bow and arrow, or a fencing foil, let us know. Otherwise, I'll just view this as what it is - another pro-gunner's feeble attempt to cloud the issue.

[DoNotRefill]

14. Ummmm....lots of bank robberies take place....

using just a piece of paper.

[Wickerman]

16. Stories such as those should be filed

in the papers in the news thread.

thanks

[DoNotRefill]

17. Is that different than the news in the papers thread?

[Wickerman]

19. sorry, that was eliminated

thanks to the increased interest in Faux News

[alwynsw]

18. Jarts and papers

Thanks for the chuckles, all (except lunabush - that dart fetishist, paper pushing, lunatic asswipe).

[DoNotRefill]

20. Dude you forgot the "Tom Delay's pimp" bit....

eom

[alwynsw]

22. It's the allergy pills.

I just can't seem to concentrate today.

[Wickerman]

23. Paper pusher?

heh, need some 70 lb? I can hook you up

[alwynsw]

25. Will it fit my roller?

[Wickerman]

26. It burns a little fast,

frankly - for that purpose I've a nice 10lb.

[TX-RAT]

28. Can you say probable cause?

[Wickerman]

29. oh, man, I thought that might be your comment

when it first popped up...

Bad boys
Whatcha want, watcha want
Whatcha gonna do
When Sheriff John Brown come for you
Tell me
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
Yeaheah

[alwynsw]

31. Probably beats that stuff I've been getting on a roll.

But the 4 pack is really cheap!

[alwynsw]

21. I heard that the hammer throw was being removed

because of the profuse profanity that immediadely precedes (and accompanies) the throwing of said hammer is banned during prime time. Officials stated that such language is best left on the construction site where it belongs.

[CO Liberal]

30. Where That Language Is Usually Proceeded...

...by a hammer making contact with a thumb. :-)
