Britain plans to ban the sale of samurai swords because the weapons have been used in a number of serious, high-profile attacks. The Home Office (Britain's Interior Ministry) said on Wednesday the swords would be added to its Offensive Weapons Order from April next year, meaning they could not be imported, sold or hired. However collectors of genuine Japanese swords and those used by martial arts enthusiasts would be exempt from the ban.
Lets see, ban guns, nope violence still happening, in fact went up. Now swords. The stupid just never seems to end.
