Stupid bitch. Anyone could pick up a hammer and do just as much damage. All this stupid BITCH did was make it nearly impossible for martial artists to practice martial arts. FUCK her. I hope someone bashes her head in with a hammer.

[TKnightcrawler]

Sorry, but anyone crazy enough would try to kill with anything.

[THEANTINOAHS]

I'm sorry but 12" is not a sword the standard katana is around 27" she's describing a tanto

[THEANTINOAHS]

This law was amended in 08 so now we are aloud katanas as long as they are traditionally forged

[spongebo13]

Classic Labour party, someone gets killed by something so they all get banned. For fuck sake, they would ban bricks if one killed someone. Like with guns - it's not legal ones you need to worry about so why the fuck ban it?? Criminals can get hold of a gun easily and illegally so why ban the fucking legal ones?? Stupid far-left assholes

[Cheisu7]

Wait what? Authentic katanas are not as much of a threat? Okay, sure. An authentic Yoshihara sword in capable hands could slice a human clean in half.

[Dexter011S]

Great job that woman did, making her backwards-ass country even more backwards! Congrats Brits, you're even more pathetic now than before! I like how authentic swords are still available, despite the fact that they're three times sharper and will last ten times longer than replicas!

This just proves that gun laws don't stop crazy people from doing crazy things.

[coolVideos231196]

100 crimes out of 65 million people in the UK and they are banning them? Looks like we have to use wooden/plastic swords for martal arts then ;D

[Tengoku101]

dumb bitch! Just because someone was killed by a fucking katana, doesn't mean you ban it. that gives bad people that weapon and it is banned to people who will use it responsibly.

[zuneater]

omg ive been serching to get a samurai sword for 2 days but cant becasue of this stupid bitch
