I wonder how effective this will be.. It's not like banning weed was super effective. All those people (and possibly more) that want to do it are now just breaking the law..
At least thats how it is here in Oregon anyway..
But I guess it is totally justified, I visited my aunt and uncle recently who are way into martial arts so the topic of swords was brought up.. They pointed out a place in the canyon near Mt. Baldy where a man was brutally hacked at by a few punky teenagers with swords because they were tresspassing and got freaked out or something.
(This is in Southern Cali so..)
maybe a ban on cheap swords would do it.. not alot of criminal blade weilders would spot the 3k for an expensive katana just to rob a grocery store..
