I wonder whether if any of you have seen a person being slain by a sword or machette.I have, and believe me its not a pretty sight.Gun shot or stabbing one can perhaps bear to see, but a beheading or a slash with a sword is food for nightmares.At the risk of offending you and Luv2 i would say that swords should be outlawed,at least carrying of one in public should not be allowed.In this day and age use of medevial weapons such as the sword or machette can be quite traumatic to those who witness its use.
