Title: Samurai swords to be banned
Post by: Foxy Brown on March 08, 2007, 07:02:15 PM

The sale of imitation samurai swords could be banned by the end of the year, the Home Office announced today.

Importing or hiring the weapons could also be made illegal following a string of samurai sword attacks in recent years. (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/03/05/nsamurai105.xml)


Will this guy (http://forum.jphip.com/showthread.php?t=7971) become a criminal?

If imitation ones are going to be banned, does this mean you're still allowed a real one? :D

I was thinking the same.  So is it ok to attack someone with real samurai swords?
