Cheap Sword Like Objects

You can buy cheap swords at Tacoma convenience stores. This has residents upset. God knows why. In my experience the type of person likely to own a sword isn’t that dangerous. They’re usually too out of shape and unmotivated to threaten the public. Oh sure, they might talk about how deadly they and their swords are. They might even explain (at length) just how dangerous their Highlander™ style katana really is. Since it’s been folded 500 times by the a master Japanese sword smith. They might tell you that they never leave the house without making sure their 300$ S.E.A.L fighting knife or collapsible baton is well concealed but easy to accessaccess in case they’re attacked. They probably own lots of books on Ninjas, or the Lost Sword Techniques of the Celtic Berserkers. But it’s all for show. If you ask them “Why did you buy a 6 bladed Romulan Batlath” They’ll tell you “because it looks cool.” Then they’ll change the subject. Bottom line, unless you’re an inanimate object within easy reach of the couch you’re very safe. Drunken Lacrosse players are a much bigger threat.

Exactly.
