Are Shurikens Illegal in the US?

Shurikens, also known as throwing stars, are bladed weapons often associated with Japanese martial arts. Their legality in the United States is a matter of some debate and varies from state to state.

According to federal law, shurikens are not specifically prohibited or regulated. However, many states have their own laws governing the possession, sale, and use of dangerous weapons. In some states, such as California and New York, shurikens are considered illegal weapons and their possession is punishable by law. In other states, they may be legal to possess but not to sell or carry in public.

It is important to note that even in states where shurikens are legal, their use may be restricted in certain circumstances. For example, throwing a shuriken at another person could constitute assault or battery, depending on the intent and circumstances.

If you are unsure about the legality of shurikens in your state, it is best to consult with local law enforcement or a legal professional.
