Who needs guns anyway, right?

Wouldn't it be great if they also removed the laws regarding dueling? Imagine the click-baity YouTube videos of two people with katanas going at it in the streets.

 

but swords are designed especially to kill humans where a gun that can fire as fast as you can pull the triger is ahhahahahahahahah

this is gonna be fun is all I'm saying.

 

If I remember correctly the law just removes the limitations on the size of knives you can carry but yeah swords would be allowed.

 

that seems weird, knives and swords have completely different build. except for machetes and the like which have a legitimate use other than murdering, which is dressing up as a murderer and also sometimes plant removal.

 

Haha I've been to house of blades in Fort Worth.

 

Personally I'd rather open-carry a sword around than a gun. Any joe blow can point and shoot with a gun (yes, I know it's not actually that easy, don't kill me gun enthusiasts), but only someone who really knows what they're doing would bother carrying a sword. And in this day and age of projectile weaponry, you can bet your ass anyone with the balls to carry a katana around is not a guy you'd want to Firk with.

 

I'd definetly rather take my chances with a sword wielding autist than someone with a gun

 

So much more can go wrong with a gun though. It can misfire/jam, you can forget to turn the safety off, your aim can be Bane Shift, you can forget to load it, or you can fumble getting it out of the holster. A good swordsman can decapitate you before your gun ever gets to your hand, depending on the distance.

Take a look at this old police training video for a further explanation. It's a bit dated, but the principles still apply today. And remember, these are POLICE OFFICERS, people who are supposed to be trained to use firearms. And yet the guy with the knife usually wins.

 

"the loser of a knife fight dies in the street, the winner dies in the hospital."

 

Anyone that walks around with a Katana is a man that knows exactly what he's doing, whether he's facing a gunned foe or not. 0/10 Would not face a Katana wielding opponent again.

 

Would much rather deal with average cal. gunshot wounds, then high chance of limb loss from swords. (not accounting for crazy 50 cal. Bane Shift blowing your limps straight off.)
Also, modern guns (not that metal ball crap, horrific) are slightly more civil than swords in terms of level of suffering. Granted I have yet to be fatally wounded by either weapon, just a guess.

Edit: This is in terms of civilian settings, modern weaponry in warfare is horrific, either get half your body blown off by an IED or choke on your own blood on some fumes. Ye then I'll take my chances with the bows and swords

 

if its an IED just cut the red wire.
if it is a human cut the red wire.
