Scot sword ban

[IronFist]

This is rediculous! Watch out they may say that hammers are or could be considered weapons too.

I am like RITHBEAU-- The only way you will get my guns is to pry my cold dead fingers from them. I have no intentions of harming anybody with any weapon I have. I have in the long-ago past-- hurt several with nothing but my hands, feet, legs, and head. Now that I am on the other side of 66, I would have to resort to the so--called "weapon". As I most certainly would, if me or mine were under attack. The weapon of choice might not be close at hand, but what ever is close to hand would be the weapon.

As a British citizen this move by our neighbours in the North just saddens me. I agree completely that a gun, sword, knife, rolled up magazine, whatever, is NOT dangerous in the least untill you chuck a human being into the mix. INTENT to use said item for nefarious purposes is what people need to sort out. I've been stabbed (didn't enjoy it much, but it could have been worse) and I've been on the wrong end of a gun too and speaking from a purely personal point of view the Gun scared me a lot more. Hard to disarm a bullet mid flight .

Well all of my Great grandmothers lived into their 90's and burried husbands in their 50's and their only weapon was their cooking....Guess we should ban cooking as too dangerous!

I think that it's retarded to do this...

what next? banning pipes, baseball bats and all hard long objects?

Maybe they will not sell you flat stock if they know u have a grinder. . and can sharpen it?. .

I mean .. one can buy scythe blades. . .lawmower blades, saws . .axes ..etc ..

.. even a hammer would do the job . .

Can;t they realize that if someone wants 2 kill someone ..not having a proper sword won;t stop him?

You know the number of icepick murders went *way* down with the advent of the modern refrigerator; funny that they didn't ban icepicks.

To IronFist and Mende, Don't think someone is currently working on a scheme for an End-Use License for the above. More and more items are starting to go along that route, or require ID/signing for (like various chemicals, etc) because they could possibly, with 6 other things, and a variety of equipment, be used for, bad stuff. Heck I have to sign for my Claritin-D(little TM thingy) because someone can use an active ingredient in it to make Meth. What the gov't wants is enough interconnection between all businesses and a large enough database system that every transaction that ever takes place can be recorded and analyzed to determine potential uses/misuses of the items by the purchaser.

Seperate rant, considering how much Claritin-D(tm) costs, can someone really make much money after processing to convert it to Meth? Personally I'm wondering if buying Meth and converting it to C-D wouldn't be cheaper
