Mate of mine in halls has a samurai sword. :)

Well they still will be legal to own, just not to sell, import or attack politicians with. :) (completely irrelevent of course when almost all blade related crime comes from kitchen knives and small pocket knifes which are cheap, very easy to get hold of and easily concealed and disposable)

 

 

 

I just love the hypocrisy is all, like Two Jags transport policy when he wouldn't go 100m with one car for himself and his wife and another for her hair do. :blink:

I guess this is why they've banned "samurai" swords (although strangely not "ninja" swords). :)

I love that bit at the end of the article where to "prove" her own comments were "wrong" Smith buys a late night kebab..... with full police protection. :blink:

 

The image doesn't play right. A pr fuck up of sorts I guess.

Samurai swords are tacky as fuck. Charva-tastic.

Edit: that said, I think the proper ones are canny good. Saw a large display of them at the British Museum once.

Aye, but clearly you cannot ban kitchen knives.

Basically it's legal to own a Samurai Sword, Legal to carry it and if your the proprietor of a Samurai sword shop it's legal to sell them. But that doesn't matter because it's illegal for the cops to search you!

They've actually ended up just banning importing and sale all non-historic (although "historic" is open to debate, as WW2 Japanese swords are banned) weapons with a curved blade with 1 sharpened side, over a certain length I think. Which takes in things like calvary sabres and some fencing weapons and such...... yet you can still buy a claymore with a 51" blade if you want. :)

Yeah, but it's still pretty pointless (although that wasn't really what I was talking about originally - just politicians claiming "everything is fine" then going out with a police escort AND stab vest :)), bottles come second to those sorts of knives in crime, yet clearly neither of those will be banned.

 

She'll still be "needing" her stab vest long after this coming ban, as it doesn't tackle (at all) the major issues involved (which also "don't exist", as anyone can happily walk though any part of London after dark alone, in perfect safety, don't you know :) ).

 

It's a bit like banning trebuchets when you've actually got a problem with hand-held catapults, when of course officially there is "no problem" with hand-held catapults either. :cantlook:
