Are you a ninja working in the UK? How will this new law affect your livelihood?

 

[HOMO FOR LIFE RETURNS]

Yeah but what about broadsword

 

[Toji Suzuhara]

 

[PyrrhicRustle]

Shōgun Starmer enforcing the law of katanagari to curb the violence of the ronin.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

What about Morningstars?

They have a few of these. Lord help me this is going to be a train wreck.

Edit - spot the error

[The Cunting Death]

Didn't they attempt this like 30 years ago with the Teenage Mutant HERO Turtles?

 

[teriyakiburns]

Illlegal. The home office can't even proof-read a poster.

So upper crust British who collect real swords (not mall swords) who have them in their collections will have to hand them in?

"Sorry Lord Flozzleworth, but that authentic 18th century Miso Sashimi katana your ancestor the 8th Earl of Flozzleworth got when he visited Japan as British Consul in 1852 has to be handed in at the Surrey police station and melted down!"

I would probably live in any other country on earth over the UK.

 

[Moja Zemlja]

Define a "ninja sword" please Home Office, there is already a ban on them.

swords, with a curved blade over 50 centimetres (with some exceptions, such as antiques and swords made to traditional or methods before 1954)

I really like the tweet right underneath this one on the archived page:

"Pooja".

 

[SirCliveSinclairdabbing]

They already did this back around 2007.
Then home secretary (wacky) Jacqui Smith banned the import and sale of swords with a live (sharp) edge.

He has a loicence for his sword. Norf FC chaps out to play Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles don't.

The UK is turning back to Feudalism. Peasants are forbidden from possessing any form of weapon, nor are permitted any right to self defense.

The Ronan fears the ninja

 

[Karl Franz]

Shinobi actually did fight with improvised weapons because knives were banned and agricultural tools were kept under loicenses. A modern ninja sword is a plastic knife.

 

[The Evil Midnight Bomber]

So they'll ban nothing then because "ninja swords" don't exist. Most Ninjas spied on rival daimyo by disguising themselves as peasants which were prohibited from carrying swords.

 

[OrionBalls]

What if I keep it peace bound? Also, this image immediately jumped to mind.

When my dad was around 22 he got his daylights kicked out of him on the street. The only thing he could remember as he was fainting in the pool of his own blood- "No, that not the guy".
They had to almost completly reconsctruct his nose, funny enough it turned out looking better than before the attack, no joke.
My point is- you dont campaign for banning of hammers if someone was hammered to death.
