If a three foot sword is considered an offensive weapon, what would they consider a defensive weapon?
A ban on swords isnt uncommon. If I have a permit, I can carry a concealed .44 magnum handgun in Newport News, Virginia. I can not carry a sword, dirk, Bowie knife, switch blade, throwing stars, Nunchucks ...
Doesn't the 2nd Amendment cover the right to keep and bear ARMS? It doesn't say "guns" or "firearms".
