Uh-oh. I have a plastic handled claw hammer, several wooden handled ones, several sledge hammers, ball-peen hammers plus some specialty hammers (tack, Warrington hammer, dead blow). It’s a hammer cache! Cut nails, roofing nails, headless brads, wire nails in several different sizes, hand-forged ‘rose-head’ nails, and even a leather ‘holster’. Great googly moogly, who needs so many hammers and nails?

I hope my vintage hammers get grandfathered in. I have one from the 1880s and another from even earlier, circa 1850. All kept, unlocked, within easy reach of any passing child (though I have no children).

[Count on roofing nailers to be banned in 3...2...1...]

I lived in Massachusetts from 1987 to 1989. At that time you had to have a state pistol permit to rent, own or use a nail gun.

And his guns were bought by a straw buyer.

I’m special. My hammer went through the side of one of those wall mart metal storage sheds.

It’s ‘armor piercing’ ;)

I lost all my hammers in an unfortunate boating accident.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Stop.

[Norm Lenhart]

Just use a ‘Hammerlock’ on’em and you’ll be fine ;)

They ran a background check on me when I bought my hammer.

I had an enormous collection of assault hammers, semi-auto hammers, sledge hammers, concealable pocket hammers, ak hammers etc until I lost them all in a boating accident...

Ala Happy Gilmore...

2 of the 3 were bought through a friend....whom he named in his 3 page letter...and is now in jail.....

They're not telling us much about the 38.

Using the term "straw" is a lot of cr**....whatever...

[JustSayNoToNannies]

Violence and deaths associated with legal and illegal drugs exceed firearm related deaths by huge margins.

That's better.

[mkboyce]

My son has a plastic hammer with a hollow striking head.

Will that be illegal as well?

#1 is humans.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

They have laws against toy guns; why not?

[Sacajaweau]

I have a tack hammer. It’s very light. Perfect for a slight woman like myself. Reminds me of my 1960’s high heels.

More kids are killed in school bus related accidents...traffic accidents, and/or hit by a car while getting on/off a school bus, then were killed in school by crazed gunmen. Obvious solution is to thus ban school buses. But wait..how will kids get to school?

They can either walk, ride bikes, or have their parents drive them..in car pools. Want to bet how many MORE are killed in traffic accidents?

[frogjerk]

Any sawed off hammers or collapsable stock hammers?

[READINABLUESTATE]

You didn’t mention micro stamping of all objectes hit by the evil assasult hammer.

[LadyBuck]

Wow..had no idea...but JEEZ!
