Why is this weapon on public sale?

[Skybird]

These so-called WASP-knifes inject compressed air into the body the blade just had cut into. Originally, the idea is coming from anti-shark-sticks, and was meant as a tool of defense against attacking dangerous animals close by, namely sharks. It now is on public sale, as far as I know, and gets promoted as a hunting knife and self-defense weapon. Pardon? Anyone iditoic enough trying to chase bears with a knife in his hand should be forbidden to carry a weapon. and for self-defense you do not need this always lethal weapon - a normal knife would do very well. In Germany and Britain it is feared now that these things get shipped over the Atlantic.

I say they should stay were they come from - from the tip of anti-shark stick, long enough that you cannot carry them in your pockets and cannot hide them under your coat. I could imagine that divers would prefer detonating anti-shark-capsules anyway. Underwater it may prove to be difficult to get a knife through a huge shark's thick skin.

This weapon has nothing to look for on the shelves of public shops. I doubt it'S underwater-value. I even cannot see a purpose for them with special commandos and the military.

"Weapons like this are absolutely disgraceful and there is no reason at all why people should be walking around the streets with them.
There should be high-profile operations and high-profile arrests against anybody caught with them."

100% agree.
