Title: Baseball Bat Sales Up in England
Post by: Old Guy on August 10, 2011, 12:20:24 AM
Amazon UK, baseball bat sales have gone thru the roof:   http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/movers-and-shakers/sports/ref=zg_bsms_tab (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/movers-and-shakers/sports/ref=zg_bsms_tab)

Sales are in the top 10 best sellers.

I wonder Why?

In the middle of a whole bunch of seemingly related products I see Zumba Fitness Exhilarate: The Ultimate Experience DVD Set. I guess you gotta get fit before rioting :D

I forsee batball bat registrations, background checks, tax stamps/fees, and 21+ yrs of age to purchase soon to be required in the UK. :P

"Common sense" athletic equipment control, anyone?

For me, junior kids bats are easier to wield.

It'll happen. You watch. Hehe. The liberal/socialists are taking over.  That's why no one can defend themselves or their property over there right now.

Shut the ff-ront door!  That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a long, long, time.   :o  Notice on the Nerf gun thing that the fine print says that "to protect The Children(tm), sale of imitation firearms is restricted..."   :wtf:  What gun is the Quantum Fazer an imitation of, because I want one before the "common sense energy weapon ban" goes on the books!!

Haha. Me too.

 How about that razor sharp butter knife? Imagine a youth under the age of 18 wielding one of those around!  Muffins beware!

Ima get one of them before the permit process takes effect.  ::)

It's pretty messed up over there. If we aren't carful, we're next :(

A couple weeks back, I read that two guys got themselves arrested in the UK.  They were outside Joss Stone's house, with a sword and a body bag. :o Glad they got picked up before they could hack the poor woman to death and cart her off in a body bag, but what really popped my eyes out is that the police only discovered the body bag after arresting the two for "possession of an offensive weapon."  Why are gun grabbers so dense when it comes to logic?  Defense and offense are two sides of the same coin.  If a gun/knife/billy club/whatever would make a good offensive weapon for a criminal, it would make an equally good defensive weapon for a law-abiding citizen.  Duh.  Apparently in the UK you're restricted to having defensive weapons, which are apparently defined as "something less effective than what the criminal's using".  (On a related side note, I heard that Chuck Norris hasn't been allowed to travel to the UK since the weapons ban went into effect.  When asked for comment, Mr. Norris stated, "If those limey bastards thought the Battle of Britain made a mess, they're in for a hell of a surprise."  Then he kicked the camera man in the face and spent the next 72 hours making sweet, sweet love to the attractive female reporter.)

This may settle the baseball vs. cricket debate for good, once these Brits get their hands on a good olʻ American (made in China) baseball bat...
