I have always thought that boxers had to register their fists as dangerous weapons. No?

In any case, if we start down this where will it lead? As a practical matter almost anything can be used as a lethal weapon. This includes pens/pencils, a can of soup, a pillow, broom stick, baseball bat, fork etc. etc.

If we were to deem pencils lethal weapons what would the impact be in schools?

This whole issue is just another colossal waste of time. There are already laws on the books for murder, manslaughter whatever. Except for the premeditation issue, what does it matter what you used to kill someone with. A nuance only a slimy lawyer could love.

My son is a boxer, no he does not have to register his hands. He does have to register with the state as a boxer in order to box in sanctioned boxing matches. I'm sure were he to be in a conflict outside the ring it would be taken into consideration with a court.

No. That’s what’s known as a “marketing conceit” :)
