Everyone who has attended a home game knows about Bradley's T-shirt cannon. It is an air-pressure powered device with a rotating barrel that the cheerleaders use to fire multiple T-shirts rapid fire into the crowd. I have seen similar T-shirt cannons used at a lot of sporting events, including colleges, and pro teams.
But now the PC-police may have something to say about it. In Australia, which in some ways is besieged by political correctness even worse than the US, a pro team called the Townsville Crocodiles of the Australian NBL (National Basketball League- the same league Andrew Warren played in for Cairns a couple years ago) has used a T-shirt cannon for the last 10 years, similar to the one Bradley uses. However, they were just given notice by the Queensland Police Service "threatening the club with prosecution if the “weapon” was not surrendered". The notice said that "the T-shirt cannon was classed as a Category B weapon – the same as a shotgun or rifle".
Crocodiles general manager Rob Honan said, "That takes the fun right out of a basketball game,”
“There was no warning, there was just a letter that said it must be handed in or people in possession of it would be prosecuted.
