Government Consultation - Banning Ninja Swords

[C_Claycomb]

This looks like government listened to all the criticism following the ban on “Samurai” swords with curved blades longer than xxcm. Everyone pointed out that the purveyors of horrible cheap gangsta swords would be selling the same junk with straight blades even before the original ban came in and it would make no difference. Now they are looking to plug that rather obvious loophole.

This is still just a call for input, on a law that won’t affect anyone outside the UK.

On the surface it does look like that but once you here from a politician: "We are just following the trend in Europe on legislation on things like this" you realize that things are not that simple. Especially on restrictive legislation politicians are keen to find any examples.
