Swords don't kill people

Big Sarge · 01-16-2013, 07:33 AM

Swords, epees, and foils were made for one thing only - killing people. Do you realize how many people have been stabbed, sliced, or diced by these evil assault weapons?? Fencing is nothing but people training to kill someone.

I propose a ban on all blades greater than 3 inches. This is in line with concealed weapon laws already passed in many states

We have quite strict laws about carrying knives, with heavy sentencing introduced a few years ago. The reason? We had a minor epidemic of knife crimes, particularly amongst the young.

Sarge, it's a slippery slope. Next thing only criminals will have Veg-o-matics®

Of course, Veg-o-matics® are really just your average killin' knife covered with a lot of plastic.

Well that's just a mini wood-chipper really. Sure, it'd take a bit longer for them to die, but is that a good thing?

When was the last time someone killed 26 people in a short time with a sword?

The brave little tailor killed seven flies with just one stroke. Of a cloth, even. It CAN be done.

Wood-chipper are just for getting rid of accomplices.

swords are up close and personal, mothafkka. Cowards can shoot from far, far away. I'd prefer a sword death anyway. It would be more...romantic.

you mean I should never have put M**c through that one? darn, I wondered why it's never been right since......

I'd like to see more swordplay, but inside the construct of "first blood". Someone gets cut, honor is served, participants shake hands, and get on with life.

You need to brush up on your cryptanalysis. Here's a refresher,

Herbert S. Zim, in his classic introductory cryptography text "Codes and Secret Writing", gives the English letter frequency sequence as "ETAON RISHD LFCMU GYPWB VKJXQ Z", the most common letter pairs as "TH HE AN RE ER IN ON AT ND ST ES EN OF TE ED OR TI HI AS TO", and the most common doubled letters as "LL EE SS OO TT FF RR NN PP CC".[1]

Don't you think this is the same violence that would be happening if they had guns? So now take away their knives how will they kill each other now?
