Lawn Darts are ILLEGAL? I didn't get that memo!
Taurus:
A buddy made me lawn darts some years ago after the ban went into effect. I still have them. I still use them. These have similarities to the store bought, except these homemade ones are better balanced in my opinion.
Let the socialist pigs ban what they want from the markets. They're an incompetent bunch of lunatics. The CPSC is not the law of my private land. Whatever they try to take from me I will make, or find someone who can make it. Or I can still purchase used on Google. They can go to hell, and while there, give my burger a flip.

I used to throw them at squirrels and chipmunks and cats.
SteveS:
My parents still have a set of these. I didn't realize they were off the market. I better hang on to them.

Kids tend to throw them straight up in the air... and ER's had a steady stream of kids arriving with "lawn dart lobotomies".

WASHINGTON, D.C. - After a recent serious injury caused by a lawn dart, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reissued its warning that lawn darts are banned and should be destroyed. Effective on December 19, 1988, CPSC banned the sale of all lawn darts in the United States. Pointed lawn darts, intended for use in an outdoor game, have been responsible for the deaths of three children. The most recent injury occurred last week in Elkhart, Ind., when a 7-year-old boy suffered a brain injury after a lawn dart pierced his skull.
