Hank: Most people don’t know that back in 1984 for instance, Senator Kennedy tried to pass a law that would have banned all martial arts weapons, including swords, tomahawks, bowie knives, etc. People don’t know that if my friend Bill Adams, (of Atlanta Cutlery) hadn’t jumped in to organize a grass roots lobby campaign against it, probably no one in this country would be allowed to own a decent replica sword today. Bill was able to get the legislation stopped early. But such a thing will come up again, and the sword fraternity needs to be ready for it.

Does anybody remember this?

Does anyone doubt Schumer or someone else would try it again?

As Bugs Bunny would say "What a marooon!" (albeit a dangerous one.)

Kennedy gets off with a traffic ticket, suspended drivers license for 6 months-He wants every potential weapon banned so that the people that are getting fed up with his %@#$ can't use them against him. Mary Jo has been dead for 25 years?, he is still pushing his socialist/communist crap! TERM LIMITS!!!

Kennedy can have my arming sword after he pries it from my cold, dead hands.

'Course, I'd need to run out of ammo first before resorting to the sword... but them's is just the breaks.

Schumer would try to outlaw water guns, as long as he gets headlines and airtime.
