Boomerangs for everyone serving in the Australian military.
As for the rest of the world, clubs and bows and arrows have a long history of being successful weapons of war, which reminds me of 18-year-old adolescent crybaby crying for being able to buy a – (real gun made for grownups) — club and maybe even a bow and arrow(s). Trying times, indeed.
