They are banned in NJ...
What happened (from how I was told it went down), legislation was passed to ban slung shots (David/Goliath). At the time, people were using them to strike people during a theft.
So it all goes through, voted, and when the person typing it up looked at it, they figured that they misspelled slingshot. Fixed it, and never was changed.
In essence, the thing they wanted to ban was still legal, and something they didn't want to ban was made illegal.
