    I don't understand how you could possibly use something like that in a fight. For that matter, isn't an umbrella a good enough weapon just as it is?

    @Reil: The Final Fantasy MXIV Multi-Purpose Gun Umbrella. Can also be used to take pictures, make phone calls, baste turkeys, put icing on cakes, direct traffic, snort a line of coke, punch a hooker to death, look pimp, and parasail. That's going to be one hell of a game.

    @broho: They shouldn't be illegal anywhere. Who cares if someone owns brass knuckles. The crime should not be in owning them, but in actually beating someone with them.

    @Rabid Penguin: Yeah and it should be legal to own nuclear weapons as long as you don't bomb anyone.

    @Rabid Penguin: There is no other use for brass knuckles than than beating people with them, and if you own them you most likely intend to use them. Well, I suppose you could use it as a really cool paperweight.


    If the umbrella handle were made of aluminium then it would be quite light and might even render the umbrella no more harmful than one of those with the metal spikes on the end.

    @jarque: yeah... those are comparable items. You can level an entire city with one set of brass knuckles.

    @craig_16: People buy swords and all sorts of things whose primary use is stabbing people... or slashing people if the swords were made for slashing and not stabbing. But swords aren't illegal. However, it is illegal to go around stabbing (and slashing) people.
