Well, I think it would square down fairly well with people who appreciate spudding and would like to know how to use them safely,
A group "Mythspudders" on Youtube would be awesome.
I'm really rooting for that.

I really don't think there is much of a chance of spudguns getting banned, at least in the US.
People in the government have much bigger problems right now and probably couldn't care less about a couple idiots blowing themselves up every year.

The only way they could be banned is if potato related crimes turn into an epidemic, which will probably only happen if real guns get banned (It won't)

Besides, there is no way a video about spudding safety would be very popular on YouTube. Most of those people want to see guys shooting their buddy in the nuts with them, not hear a lecture about how safe they can be.

The Chaser team managed to get past two Police checkpoints, and do their thing- They then got arrested on the way out, as the cops wanted to know who was leaving the area.
They are great comedians :D
