Ok there are 2 separate conversations here. Firstly I don't think either the Australian or the Pakistani public would have heard the WHOLE story. Secondly this is not the forum to discuss it in. Thirdly I think we are starting to get a bit personal with the debate, keep it clean guys.

On the subject of swords being outlawed. I think that we should have very tight regulations about having them in public but I personally own a number of collectors swords and there is no harm in private ownership. Also where do you draw the line between a knife and a sword, or a piece of metal and a sword. I agree that banning swords will not decrease the number of murders commited, people will always find new ways of killing people.
