“Forbidden Fun: 42 Surprising Everyday Items You Can’t Legally Own in Your State!”
In Ireland it’s illegal to sell and use metal detectors without written consent from the government.
The feathers of most native migratory birds are illegal to own in the US. Having a hawk feather, or blue jay feather? Illegal, because of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. (Nobody is banging down doors about a kid picking up a feather, though.).
Suppressors/moderators/silencers. Not even for airguns.
I bought an airgun about a year ago. Then I designed and 3D printed a suppressor for it, figuring it would effectively lengthen the barrel a bit for increased accuracy, and it might reduce the report, even if only slightly.
I shared a picture of the finished print on social media and had a bunch of friends immediately comment that I should delete the picture and destroy the print ASAP. I did and then researched it… sure enough owning or possessing a suppressor is illegal (in Canada).
I think someone in politics has watched a few too many action movies and has no real concept of how effective suppressors are.
In one state (Western Australia), it is illegal to sell, purchase, take delivery of or deliver more than 50 kgs of potatoes at once. Not sure if this is ever enforced but yeah.
