So what I take from this is that we should also legalize transparent poisons. The great equalizer! Typically a crime committed with guns rewards the person the drew first/surprised the other, so it makes sense in terms of awful precedents. Actually, any kind of violent crime usually favours the assailant. Unless it is an honourable duel, of course! | ||

Explosives, Bows, guns, knives, axes, hammers, bats, whatever, they have other purposes and uses as well. Swords? That's for killing. No reason why they should be carried around except by those that do so as part of the nations armed forces (including, yes, military). 2) Swords aren't an equalizer between people. They are a way for those that already can inflict the most damage, to be able to inflict more damage. Young fit men in particular. Now look at crime statistics ... which group is most likely to be involved in violent crime? Guns on the other hand allows most people, even older or infirm, to face down intruders. It's an equalizer. Swords are not. So basically ... mostly young fit men (and those that are real experts with the weapons) would be able to defend themselves with swords, and ... they would then be able to inflict more damage on each other 3) If carried it's a recipe for disaster whenever you come across someone with a gun - whether it's a police officer or a criminal, because it is a deadly weapon the other person will be threatened by. And he have a deadlier weapon. So ... uhm ... It's a really stupid idea with no positive effects? Also - it doesn't work as an analogy because of point 2). Said the VIKING! ;oP | ||
