I heard briefly on the news yesterday in England about a possible ban of sword sales in Scotland. At first I did think oh sh?t it could really happen. Then sense and logic came to me. A ban could happen, for the type of repro/hunting knives, new nasty swords and things that the skumbags and toerags who cause trouble seem to like. I then thought about the feudal basis of land ownership particular to Scotland, all those big gaffs with weapon displays, clan chiefs and estate owners will still want antique edged weapons to buy and sell. Not to mention the proud Scots regiments. What we have to look out for is, how the law is worded and to insure that the law applies to all sectors of society.
