But it is refreshing you lot over there can do this, guard it well, because we have been disarmed.

But I do notice every time the press makes a mountain out of a molehill with the occaisional nut, we lose a little bit more of our freedom, can't even sell belly dance swords in the UK now and that as a direct result of a member of parliament being killed by a nut with an ornamental samuri sword.

But it is insidious the authorities using ourselves against us to disarm us.

Don't let it happen to you

i remember reading threads like this -- http://tribes.tribe.net/londontribaldance/thread/5e8f09f7-ac57-427a-a55e-543fa713f8f4 -- about the sword situation in the UK when i was first getting into belly dance. pretty sad, man -- and belly dancers still aren't included in the exemptions? who do you think is more likely to kill you with a sword? a dancer, or a martial artist? i mean, really. =p

lame...

Continually we are being screwed over by a minority, something happens, then knee jerk ill thought out legislation hits all the law abiding, the criminals of course by being criminal carry on as normal.

Now I used to shoot, both hand guns and rifles as a pastime, marksman with a rifle, which could have developed into a sport, but the Dunblane massacre put an end to that, as it is, our Olympic shooting team has to train out of the country, how ludicrous is that ?

And now swords used in dancing, although I believe highland dancers are exempt, not so unless things have changed for belly dancers, we can however buy them from he US, not employ our own craftsmen and sword smiths to make them. I can make them, but I am banned by law to make them.

Everything that happens affects the law abiding, the criminals still run amok, always have done and always will.

But it is going completely stupid now, anything can be called an offensive weapon, by whomever, I even got refused passage on a bus because I was carrying a piece of metal to my destination, the destination was actually called '' '' smithy, where there is only one building, a smithy, i.e. a blacksmiths workshop where I hope to be working, but if public transport is going to be this arsey, my hopes of being gainfully employed are finished before they start.

And now there is the anti smoking spetznaz, a minority of people who seek to infringe on the rights of others, the likes of which there is a growing resentment in society, not because people are being made out to be continuously unclean, but because in a democracy, a minority is always winning.

I expect the next new public safety law to allow only feather-nibbed pens, no dangerous pencils or other hard-point writing instruments that nobody really needs unless they intend to use them as a weapon.

Interesting to note that some people actually favor gun control and/or total disarmament of the people.

What they do not understand is that the government does not seek to disarm the people to protect the people, they seek to disarm the people to protect themselves. In the US there are places that are free, and it is because the cops literally will  not go there. Be aware that in such places, you are on your own. If you get your ass killed your body will be properly disposed of, in a body of water or the bottom of a dumpster or whatever. Yes, in those places you are free, and you are also free to provide for your own defense.

People are not ready for that kind of freedom. However it really has gone too far. People think they debunk the old west myths, stating that in some towns you couldn't have a gun. Sure, when you rode in you checked your gun with the sherriff and picked it up when you left. But the people who lived there had guns. Pretty cool way to keep trouble down eh ?

But I will say this and I say it assuredly as the sun is hot. Anyone who wants to take away your means of self defense is your enemy. There is no logical argument against that, as long as we are talking adults. Of course you don't let five year olds play with guns but that is clearly not what I meant.
