Not really. I can think of two in recent years, but knife crimes care more common chiefly amongst young gang members, mainly in London. Itās due to availability of weapons in the U.K. Thankfully, guns are not easily available over here (thereās supposedly only 6 pistols in circulation amongst the criminal underground) otherwise Iām sure theyād be the weapon of choice amongst criminals, as they are in the USA.Are murders by sword common in the U.K.?
Our failing government. They need something to boost their plummeting popularity as the idea is naturally popular amongst the public, especially the families of those killed by bladed weapons.Who is behind the ban and why?
Iām partly in agreement with you. I think they should not be available for purchase, online, by muggles who just want something cool to hang on their wall or make silly chopping videos for TikTok. But fully registered, licensed sale to those learning martial arts or antique collectors should be permissible. Iād even go as far as suggesting a mental health record would exclude a person from keeping a sword, but thatās more difficult to implement. In other words, it should be very difficult to purchase and keep a sword.IMO a sword ban is crazy.
Only if they start carrying them around in public without legitimate reasons.Will they come for chefs next?
