So I notice some Australian states now have either bans or onerous restrictions on sword ownership, the excuse given one or two incidents where Asian gang members maimed other Asian gang members with cheap stainless swords...
Now, most Australian sword enthusiasts I know are properly outraged about this, but some make compromising or excusing noises about the legislation, and not ONE I've talked to has been willing to admit that the anti-sword legislation is a direct and logical progression from their gun confiscation policies, a sitation to which I give a high score on the "cognitive dissonance" scale...
A similar (singular) incident in Norway is prompting the Norwegian Reich, I mean the Norwegian legislature to propose similar legislation. I was also noticing in Norway that the Hotel Workers union wants porn banned from hotels because they claim it's causing horny guests to proposition the maids...one wonders where this mindset is going to end.
My prediction is eventual registration and confiscation of penis'. All to prevent rape and venereal disease in the public's best interest of course. I wonder if they'll take measurements during the registration process, and whether or not such measurements will be taken under hot or cold conditions...
Hey, if they're afraid of centuries-obselete weapons, anything is possible.
