Has the Star Wars movie been censored too? Great Britain is hopeless.

They have enough problems. Woolworths stores set to close by Jan 5

[dilvish]

They still have Woolworths in England?! They went under in America well over a decade ago.

Having already outlawed real firearms, the ninnies of Britain have no choice but to continually look for new things to outlaw.

I have been to Toys R Us and have seen quite a few Star Wars lightsabers. None of them looked like a gun. It is getting ridiculous out there. This reminds me of a story of a guy getting kicked off a plane because he had a Transformers t-shirt on. Can’t remember if the Transformer was on the shirt but a transformer’s gun was and it looked nothing like a real gun.

I discourage people from buying toy guns or toys that look like guns for children . Buy them real guns and teach them safe shooting and gun handling .

It is really amazing to compare the culture of my youth (’50’s and ‘60’s) to the experiences of today’s youth. Those of us born between the late 30’s and the early 50’s in America have enjoyed the easiest existence known to mankind, ever. Yet listen to us complain. Happiness occurs between the ears, I feel sorry for those who can find none.

No wonder Islam has taken over in Britain so quickly. Little tough to defend the homeland with fish and chips.

Woolworths, Srar Wars, Lightsabers!

Sounds like this headline could have been written 30 years ago.

Another case of GDS, Gun Derangement Syndrome.

"...who specialises in restricted sales issues with the Trading Standards Institute..."

I knew those Monty Python skits were based on fact...

Britain will have to sink into a New Dark Ages before it has a chance of re-emerging as an advanced civilization again. It's a kingdom gone mad.

[Domandred]

How in the hell can someone mistake a lightsaber for a gun? That doesn’t make sense. Do these people even know what either looks like?

[LibWhacker]

In that case, they should outlaw the hamburger bun.

I mean, WTF?

[PistolPaknMama]

The patients have taken over the mental ward.

[rawcatslyentist]

I'm thinking about a picture of a gun....

Help!!!!! Someone please thing of the cheeruns!

[GingisK]

banned by troubled retailer Woolworths because barmy shop bosses fear it could be mistaken for a gun.

So, what do folks across the pond use for hand drills?

[supercat]

Maybe they need some help from the Modern Major General. He could tell at sight a Mauser rifle from a javelin, so I would think he could help here as well.
