     @niclas ah no he should be fine. The slungshot is a mêlée weapon. It's a ball wrapped up in a monkey's fist knot. It's similar to a club but easily made and if appropriately sized I imagine concealable.

     @niclas yeah I understand, but slingshot != slungshot
     
     unless he's a slungshot (melee weapon) fan and not slingshot (range weapon) fan

     I meant; he will be disappointed that his favorite weapon is not allowed in some places.

     @niclas to be fair I think the slungshot is mostly forgotten today. I only heard of it recently. It's lumped in with the switchblade in being primarily a criminals weapon I guess which led to it being banned in various places. Kind of bs if you ask me since it's just as easily a defensive weapon as an offensive one, but hey legislators gonna legislate.
     
     I agree most people can't spell to save their lives, and English doesn't make it any easier with all of our little quirks.

     I guess I need to improve my War English... Didn't even notice that...and even if I did, I would probably have assumed misspelling.

     Actually, English is so regularly misspelled that _I_ most often assume that being the case.

     "Criminal weapons"? So soon they will ban knives, sticks and stones... How about fists? We need to amputate all hands.... We must protect the children. Think about the children!!!!

     @niclas yeah that was why my op was "shall not be infringed". I was going to say something like everybody mad about bump stocks should be furious about the slungshot, but it's not banned federally just within a few states I guess. It still seems like infringement to me.
