And tell me this, since the last time we heard all this rubbish, when handguns were banned, how many other things have been banned?
It appears your slippery slope is a mere figment of your seemingly over active imagination.

And there was me thinking you were above that.
Histrionics are never very pretty.
We've also discussed your so-called "right" to own lethal weapons - you've never had that right, so I don't know why you keep banging on about them.
The electoral process is there for a reason - we may not always like it, but that's what we've got, and until you can find a way to change the law either within the current framework or by becoming an MP and trying to get it changed yourself, that's what you're stuck with.
Meanwhile, I still await answers to my questions.
And I'll add another - why do you think it's necessary to own a gun or sword to protect yourself?
Isn't your reaction a little out of proportion to the levelof violent crime in this country?
Or do you see yourself as a charles bronson style vigilante, killing all them bad guys?

my first thought was,I should buy a sword-I will not be able to after the ban!
Last month a gang of youths, one armed with a samurai sword, attacked a 15-year-old boy in Newry, County Down.

hi mate,
The article also says..
Exemptions will cover swords which are used for re-enactments or antique weapons kept on display by collectors.
I have no problem with this as I cant think of a single reason someone would want, or need a sword for any other reason than those two above.
