The irony of this is that when Scotland was conquered and brutally occupied by England - they banned all arms (swords) from the inhabitants.

Should be OK as long as he makes and/or sells shields, helmets, chain mail and plate armor suits.

A spokesman for the Scottish Executive said knife-carrying was all too prevalent in certain parts of ScotlandThere IS a difference between carrying a knife, even a big knife, and carrying a sword.
How many people, recently, have been killed with a sword in Scotland?

I don't have a Scottish sword, but I do own a Turkish Yatagan. I bought it from a farmer in Turkey, who was using it to chop weeds.
It has the typical curved blade, inlaid with bronze decorations, including a date in Arabic, which translates to 1678 in our calendar.
The handles are of water buffalo horn, and the blade is in surprisingly excellent condition, and of Damascus steel.
It hangs over my front door.
I've often wondered if it has drawn blood in anger. I imagine it has, given its age.

How does knife-carrying cut short a young life?
Am I at risk? I'm carrying a rather nice knife right now, in a special pocket in my pajamas (I'm pajamahadeen, a ceremonial knife and bunny slippers are required)

Suit case nukes are OK, but no swords

Let's see:
First they came for the bayonets, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a bayonet;
Then they came for the sheath knives, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a sheath knife;
Then they came for the pocket knives, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a pocket knife;
Then they came for the Box Cutters, and I did not speak out-- because I was not a Box Cutter;
Then they came for my Sword-- and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I like this guy! His swords are not your typical wall hangers.
C15th style European rondel dagger with oak grip. Sharp, functional
blade with engraving on one side "If yew would have me" and on the
other side, "Then kiss my maisters arse and take me." This engraving is
provenanced from an original dagger in a Scottish museum. Compleat
with wood lined leather scabbard.
Blade 15"
Overall length 20 1/4"

Politicians have said they do not know why people would want to own a sword in this day and age What business is it of theirs?
I have around a dozen swords, between my "sharps" and my sparring "blunts". I happen to be into research into the recreation of the Western Martial Arts legacy, but I know literally hundreds of others through social connections who own swords for sporting use and art.
This crap could kill the WMA heritage in GB.

""Politicians have said they do not know why people would want to own a sword in this day and age . . . " And is just frosts their ass if they can't assume the power to stop people from thinking for themselves and making their own choices, pursuing their own happiness and enjoying their own life and liberty devoid of any interruption or recognition to any polition and being forced into obedience to the state over even the least mundane issue.
On par with the muzzies who can't even think for themselves anymore without referring to a law book to see which is the proper hand to wipe their butts with.
