Yesterday I noted that Canada should ban knives, forks, rubber bands, paper clips, and baseball bats. Perhaps I should have added a few things to the list.
Sure, you can ban them, register them, and make them idiot proof, but nature will adapt and overcome. In Germany, Reuters notes that they have built a better idiot.
BERLIN (Reuters) - German police have arrested a man for firing potatoes at passers-by with a home-made bazooka, authorities in the western city of Essen said on Friday. [...]Considering just about anything can be used as a weapon, banning them never works.Police said the weapon consisted of about five feet of drainpipe attached to an aerosol can which the man ignited to propel the root vegetables toward their targets.

is a "home-made bazooka" the same thing as a potato gun? Something EVERY kid should have growing up! Why do they have to make everything look so harsh?
