While you are all wondering how to fix the technical issues of such a
ban, I'm wondering more about the philosophical implications. Does
Britain plan to be regulating human nature? If not, there will be no
end to such bans.

      Cheap + Genuine are in this case mutually exclusive.

      It seems that this one bans the cheap ones and allows the genuine
      ones. How are they going to tell the difference?

      (yes, the professionals can, but they going to train customs need exercise?)


      Next up, they will be banning cheap kitchen knives ...

Banning Katanas individually sounds like a not very smart move. There's
_plenty_ of 'hand-to-hand' weapons. Will they go next for no-dachis,
claymores, etc. individually? Is there not laws like controlling weapons
with one or other characteristic? (lenght of blade or whatever)
