Default OT Lawmakers Look To Ban Metal Bats

New Jersey lawmakers are trying to ban metal bats, stating that they are
more dangerous than wooden bats. A child was struck by a ball hit off a
metal bat and is now in a coma. Now, I'm not trying to minimize what
happened to the child, but isn't this a bit too far? Its just another thing
that someone is trying to take from us. I was talking toour neighbor
yesterday about how the place has changed. He's well into his 70's and said
that if I were around back then I would be horrified of all the freedoms
we've lost over the past 50 years. I remember when I was in elem. school,
for show n tell I took 30.06 bullets, yes LIVE bullets. No one thought
anything of it. We used to take our guns to school for hunting afterwards
across the street! I used to ride in my parents cars IN the back windows!
Yes I know its all for safety, but its just another bit of life "THEY" take
away. If "they" stop telling us how to live safely then maybe we wouldn't
have to be building all these damn houses and projects and taking away all
the land!



Sorry had to rant. But there is wood content,, WOODEN BATS!!!

Anyone make they're own wooden bat?

Guy running a shop up the road a bit made one a while back. Can't quite
see anyone using it at a game though.
