Mind you, I'm not convinced that it's a good idea to ban brass knuckles. It's a step away from banning bricks ffs.

But yeh, way to think it through, EA.
Who do you think you are? If you'd stopped winning, you could have been the Biggest Loser, if you gave up, you could have been a Survivor, if you'd stopped reading Orwell, you could have been on Big Brother!

Hmmm... bricks have a widely used practical use outside of enhancing your ability to inflict pain on ones enemies.... However maybe brass knuckles have some other form of use I'm un aware of as I have never really over educated myself on the matter.

But yeah, the whole world gets a little less fun each day with PC and banning things

While this is a fair point, I'd give myself even chances of being able to create either one from common things around the house. I'd also give myself even chances of using them in a physical fashion on other people.

People generally aren't dicks, and the ones who are, aren't going to be impeded by an inability to readily purchase brass knuckles.

"Oh gee... They aren't legal to sell or possess? Well crap. I guess I'll just give up being violent."
