Yeah I believe they were all banned related to various racial and national groups. Like knuckle dusters initially for Italians and now a perception around Black people. Nun chucks etc for the various Asian diasporas.

Yeah, all the kung-fu movie weapons - nunchucks, ninja stars, butterfly knives, were banned in the 80s because boomers saw some action movies and were like "woah a new way for me to be racist!"
