Force Congress to act on Kendo Stick Control!

Force Congress to act on Kendo Stick Control!

The Issue

Problem
For decades some of America's greatest athletes have been senselessly beaten with kendo sticks hidden under wrestling rings.

Solution

It's time to enact kendo stick control.

  • It should be illegal to sell them to anyone associated with professional wrestling and background checks should be completed to confirm no wrestling affiliation.
  • It should be mandatory to store kendo sticks in safes where wrestlers and their managers cannot easily access them.
  • Wrestling rings should become kendo stick free zones, with kendo sticks not allowed within 500 feet of the ropes.
  • There should be a mandatory waiting period when buying a kendo stick to give the promotion time to get out of town.
  • Concealing a kendo stick should be a federal felony.
