I'll have you know we are very actively policing the margins of social media for nasty word-words and issuing real jail time for social comment.
I have a range of medieval themed HEMA swords , axes , maces , morning stars and flails - all very very capable of doing whatever the owner wishes. Currently I wish they are in a wall display as they are interesting to me to look at - as much as I view the ones in various Castles & Museums and now my own home.
If they are bolted , you can't pick them up and 'feel' them..
May as well just have a big photo on the wall imo.
Somewhat strange story on the BBC about the Ninja sort surrender in our area. Front page news using a photo of a web site selling perfectly legal machetes. (The bottom right hand one looks tempting as a small bramble clearing tool).

Hundreds of ninja swords surrendered to Devon and Cornwall Police
More than 300 bladed weapons are handed in during a month-long amnesty in Devon and Cornwall.

I noticed that and sighed. Not that it'll make any odds either way - such is the level of hysteria around bladed tools these days, you'll as likely get the police called on you should you be seen with a legal machete as a ninja sword anyway.
Somebody has relied upon the incorrect photo library description/title. I think they relied upon AI to find a suitable picture of "a website showing a display of ninja swords". Most of the provincial news sources are owned by centralised companies who use AI to generate text/stories/pictures with minimal human input.
Thus AI procreates false information and ignorant bias. "It must be true right?"
A client showed me the other day, how ChatAI instantly prepared a presentation/usage procedure for a medical device that he has only just invented, that technically does not exist yet. Looked totally legit and authoritative, quoted sources and all sorts.
Scary. I think he put in what it was supposed to do, in about 3 short bullet points. AI did the rest, instantly.
He showed me this because I was worrying about prepping a presentation to my local council.

Surrey deputy police and crime commissioner urges catapult crackdown
The deputy police and crime commissioner for Surrey wants them subjected to the same rules as knives.

Ah yes, all those catapult deaths that will be prevented. I suppose that the police mustn’t have much to do now that violent crime has been reduced so drastically by all these knife bans.
