I got one rule and that is "my car, my girl, and my blade, I never let any other person handle".

Then, the question is what's the difference between a knife and a blade? I mean, they can't actually take every single steak knife from everyone, but they can be used as a weapon. Same thing with practically every other sharp object. If they weren't sharp, then they wouldn't be useful, but if they are sharp, then they are weapons? =/ [/QUOTE]Exactly. I always tend to think this but I guess people who commit crimes will often preffer a Tanto or some form of sword to use.
Theoretically speaking. Lets say I wanted to kill someone. I could walk into my local store. Buy a nice big knife and walk around with it all day in a bag. The law lets me do this which makes commiting a crime pretty simple. Just take out of the bag (and add water if you will) *LOL*
Yet I am not allowed to have swords or knives in any other form than utensil based at home (within a very small reason). Considering I've spent half my life collecting and even creating my own, this is not something I can agree with. I am not talking about the average $100 Katana but anything from a $1000 folded steel Tanto to a Okishiba Yoshisada singned Katana at the least. Therefore, when yesterday I can but today I can't, I become pretty upset and decide that yesterday you couldn't and today you sure as hell won't.
