    What *EXACTLY* is the reason we don't allow people to walk around with swords anymore?

    Why are guns ok and something to be pushed for Open Carry and Concealed etc. but these weapons still illegal?

    Maybe Bows and Arrows?

    Because the Sword Lobby doesn't have much influence.

    I would love to walk around with a sword. I think people should definitely carry swords around.

    Better to not talk about it. If we point out the obvious contradiction in the unregulated ownership of firearms and the reasonable controls we have on carrying bladed weapons, the likely solution will be to remove the rules on the bladed weapons.

    All I want to do is walk around with Longclaw. And at only $250, I would definitely do it.

    Why stop at swords? Let's give everyone explosives. There is no greater deterrent to a criminal than a populace that is strapped with bombs on their chests. Shoot me and I'll blow up the entire room. Yes, there will be a small number of accidents and bad stuff happening, but hey, if over 50% of bomb owners are responsible with their chest mounted explosives, then who are we to takeaway those liberties?

    So in your world, swords are the next progression towards legalizing bombs.

    Don't forget clubs. The law specifically mentions that it is illegal to carry a club.

    Cavemen everywhere are up in arms.

    That **** is heavy man. Y'all would end up just leaving them on your sword rack in your pick-ups.

    Open carrying a sword (or a gun) while black is bad for your health.

    In the Sikh religion, it's mandatory for them to carry swords or something to that affect.

    I'm an Antiwalkerian, it is against my religion to travel outside my home without the means to dismember zombies. :D
