It opens up a whole can of worms, doesn't it?
Remember when people used to bandy around the ol' "hands registered as a deadly weapon"? Other issues include:
What bureau in charge of registering fighters as legal weapons?
What will the criteria be for mandatory legal weapon registration?
Once registered, how long does a fighter remain categorized as a legal weapon?
Would this bar fighters from entering certain establishments?
How might 'intention' figure into fighters walking around casually if they were classified as legal weapons and therefore always armed?
There are more issues. This is just off the top of my head. It becomes a delicate legal issue. It's not an accolade. It's totally punitive. If this classification were to ever become law (and I'm skeptical that it will - this is more for the sake of argument), it would be used to increase the penalties against fighters when grievous injuries are incurred. In the case of assault, everything changes when a 'weapon' is involved.

If someone dies by your hand, you are S.O.L. no matter what. In the volunteer medical work I do, DBR (death by restraint) is a serious issue.
