Title: Let's ban swords!
Post by: ren on August 19, 2019, 08:22:31 PM
How should we approach this epidemic? Background checks? Number of swords one person can own? Length of sword? Weight? Defining an "assault" sword?

Two idiots, fighting over a used cart that was thrown away and you can probably buy brand new for 150 bucks.  The unarmed man risking death or serious injury and the black man with the sword risking spending a few years in prison if he killed or seriously injured the white idiot.  Darwin awards to both.

I've been corrupted by Progressive's terminologies.

When I hear of two guys having a sword fight, I get a whole different mental image.

Thanks a lot, Liberals!!   :shake:

I guess some of us will be OK if they ban swords.  Many just have daggers or 2.5 inch folding knives.

I have one of those Cold Steel katanas that were made of 1050 steel.  Easy to get razor sharp but not a high quality steel.  In a fight to the death situation, would you rather be armed with an aluminum bat, or the above mentioned sword which is about 37 inches.  Your opponent would have the weapon you reject.

Carrying a dagger is illegal and you can get charged with a felony.  Carry a machete or sword.  Those are legal.
