AG Holder proposes banning splintered wooden boards...

The recent murder of a student in Chicago has left the citizens stunned by the senseless violence. President Obama has sent Attorney General Eric Holder and Education Secretary Arne Duncan to see what could be done to stem the blood shed. Since the murder weapon in this instance was a splintered portion of a rail-road tie, the AG is giving serious consideration to banning all splintered boards, even boards that are registered to responsible law abiding board owners. Mayor McStupid errr, I mean Mayor Bloomberg is supporting this measure.

You know, someone ought to tell him that after he gets done being AG under Obama there are a lot of career opportunities over in England with that kind of mindset.....

" Change we can look forward to"

Now there's going to be a mad rush of people scrambling to buy up all the boards in the U.S before the Government ban's them.

Then we can post at which Home Depot we were able to score some 2X4's.

I want a high capacity splinter board, or will it be marked "for LEO use only"?

So, a splintered board murdered the student in Chicago? I thought unchecked violence by murderous Chicagoans did that.

They didn't use a gun, knife or similar "killing" tool. They simply picked up whatever was lying around, proving that in the hands of a murderer ANYTHING can be used to commit the attacker's crime. Which should tell these idiots something. Though, I doubt they'll get it on their own. I doubt they'll listen, if told. I doubt they'd understand it, even if they heard.

Does the term "malfeasance" come to mind? I can think of a lot worse.

Watch the putzes push for making illegal the hatred and extreme distrust of politicians. Ah, yes. Welcome to the new century. Politics: The new "hate" crime.

We're gonna have to come up with a new game: Texas Holder.

I wrote this Holder joker a few months ago. It was on this problem of violent youth. No response.

Went down to the lumber yard to get nails for my boards and they were sold out. Told me there had been a run on 16 penny nails and the manufacturers were running four shifts to catch up. I guess I will have to cut down on my woodlot time and just dry whack my boards at home.

How short can these be sawed down and still be legal in the eyes of the ATFB?
