Man arrested with half baked weapon


iconYesterday 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. [...]

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.

Considering just about anything can be used as a weapon, banning them never works.

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?

Potato guns are fun, but you really could mess someone up with one if you tried... Still banning them won't work if anyone can make one!
