“Sword violence” stopped in its tracks. Did he name his weapons after those in The Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones?

Ah... your cosplay comment just gave me an idea as to what it might be with a sword and six dirks... he was probably dressed as "V" from "V for Vendetta":

Is possession of knives/swords an offence in of itself, in DC?

That’s my question as well.

Housewives better keep the cops out of the kitchen!

Or how about those Brazilian steakhouses with waiters walking around with meat on swords?

https://code.dccouncil.us/dc/council/code/sections/22-4514.html

“(b) No person shall within the District of Columbia possess, with intent to use unlawfully against another, an imitation pistol, or a dagger, dirk, razor, stiletto, or knife with a blade longer than 3 inches, or other dangerous weapon.”

DC Code Title 22, Chapter 45, § 22–4514.

Comes down to intent. If this person was merely walking around like this for some strange reason (in costume for some party maybe?), he’s probably alright. But bet your bottom dollar DC police are tearing apart his life, social media, etc. looking for any sign of ill intent. If he so much as made a disparaging remark about Pelosi or AOC, he’s going away for a while. Either way, he needs to lawyer up REAL quick.

And it follows a deadly attack last month, when a Nation of Islam adherent plowed a car into Capitol Police Officer William Evans, killing him at an intersection between the Capitol and Senate offices

I don’t recall, were there riots following this racist event?
