seriously you guys, why should I care, and I guess I speak for the majority of the Europeans here. We don't care.

I don't own a sword, why would I anyway? It has no use, costs alot of money and only looks cool on the wall. You'd look like a retard swinging it without any proper training / then again, why would you swing it around.

Not like it has an impact on our freedom.

Exactly. What the fuck would you want with a sword anyway? It isn't exactly 1984 style clampdown on personal freedoms!!

how about if it " Looks " like a Samuri sword, but isn't realy and is not at all sharp ?

Did they ban Claymores ? they bloody well ought'a ? discrimination !

Yep, a sword is bad news !

Lol look at the adds across the bottom of the page...

Here we go... "they are not like me, I'm not like them, so why would I care"
First its assault weapons, then pistols, then long guns, then swords, next will be knives, forks and spoons.
The human race is slowly being dumbed down to the domesticated level of cattle or sheep. Next we will all be dermal micro chipped and catalogued.

Famous last words of a domesticate
"BAhhh Bahhh tell me what to do next Bahh bahh bahhh"
"OMG is that the F'n slaughterhouse?!? Where's my sword?????? Oh POS SPORK... NOOOOO!!!!!!!"

BAHH BAHHH BAHHH. If that sounds good to you then you are right "why care."
Yah why care, when its your turn I won't.

What language are you speaking?

From what I could just about make out from your post is a claim that if we limit the availability of weapons in our society it makes us sheep? Not sure if I can understand your logic here. We don't have the kind of society here where everyone has a little arsenal at home in the cupboard and any law that inhibits the acquisition of weapons will ONLY decrease the number of weapons related crimes, it will NOT increase the number. That for me is a good enough reason...I don't want to live in a society where everyone has an Uzi, two or three hand guns and a couple of swords at home in the cupboard thanks very much.

I have no desire to start a gun or sword collection so my 'rights' aren't being infringed and I'm happy in the knowledge that someone else will have a bit more difficulty if they want to go out and start a weapons collection.

And when they line you up to micro chip you or you won't get to ride the "tube" I won't care... because you mindlessly obey every edict that comes along that is couched in the language of public safety. Not every idea couched in the language of public safety is a good idea.

I guess when they want you micro chipped you will say HEY I'm not a terrorist so its doesn't impact me right?????

When you say it will not increase the number of crimes, I don't think you included the crimes of the state against you in your scenerio. I cringe when I see statemetns like "they are not like me, or I don't agree with them or what they do, so therefore governemnt you can do what you want because it doesn't impact me"  because those are the statement of a public mindset that brings great things like the holocaust.... And if I am not mistaken that occurred in Europe? Correct? So I think I will dismiss that we will all be safer becuase of it argument. Bahhh bahh bahh

Yet another sickening liberal conclusion.... It is the collective, not the individual to decide what interests and hobbies individuals should be allowed.

Liberals do not like it, so no one should. Nice attitude comrade.

You seem to be doing that thing though where if anyone wants to own anything capable of causing harm, that said person wishes to uses it. I'd be upset because although I am deeply interested in all sorts of history, I am not a collector because I don't devote my life to one area. People like myself are the ones who are getting shafted.

I don't follow you...if you want to get one for collector's purposes there are apparently exceptions in the laws that can allow this, where's the problem?

Also I find it funny that Americans on here can apply one mentality to Iran and their desire to have nuclear energy i.e. presuming they are going to use it for violent means, and an opposite mentality to members of the public wanting to acquire weapons...only difference is swords and guns can't be used to take care of cities power needs.

Take away all the weapons and people will be beaten to death ... what then?

Then the police, who will still have weapons, will have a much easier job.

As far as I can remember guns have been banned from having it as a personal possession long ago around here. Swords don't matter much, not alot of people have them and now that having them is a crime it will be harder for people with bad intent to obtain them, that's not a bad thing is it?

I actually don't mind the microchip idea, if you have done nothing bad you have nothing to be afraid of. Actually I support it. You won't be less free with one, if you haven't done anything which will result into feds tracking you, your life will just go on as usual, but with a chip in your body for when you get the crazy idea to make other people's lives miserable.

I do not want Ahmadinejad to have a sword any more than I want a criminal to have one... I am consistent on this issue.


How 'bout you.

I stand a better chance of getting killed by an Islamic terror attack than I am a Samuri Sword, yet you want to blanket punish everyone that might want to add to their collection, and yet you refuse to "PROFILE" to track a terrorists, for fear of hurting someones feelings
