The law recognizes that a bottle of beer generally cannot be used to murder someone else.

[rpmisms]

But it easily can. Break the end off and poke.

[beowulfey]

and if a store was selling broken bottles as weapons that would probably face some legal action

[rpmisms]

Maybe. That would probably legally qualify as a knife.

[echoangle]

And stores are not allowed to sell knifes due to the danger to others?

[cooper_ganglia]

What store isn't allowed to sell knives??

[echoangle]

It was a rhetorical question, that was the point.

[rpmisms]

Not in the US.

[karles]

No more shoelaces - they are weapons.

You joke, but the ATF museum has within it a shoelace that is registered as a machine gun.
