Swords finally illegal in Australia

Guess i would become a sikh, if my collecting status wasnt good enough! not a good one with a turban just a partial one with a steel bracelet & a sword. ;) :rolleyes:

I wonder how this will affect Wandi over at Valiant Company? Eventually people will be forced to have Nerf material surgically grafted to their knuckles because of the widespread use of fists.
 
Can't help but wonder how many Australian deaths are attributable to alcohol and cigarettes--either though disease or traffic accidents.

Also wonder how the numbers would compare to the deaths by sword, or even guns, for that matter.

You can go here and take a look around. A "Kukri" is a Prohibited Weapons (COW). Wow it seems worse then I thought. Which they define as;

"Prohibited weapons - these weapons which are considered inappropriate for general possession and use without an Exemption or an Approval from the Chief Commissioner of Police"

edited to add that they also list Kukri as a Prohibited Imports item.
 
After reviewing the list of prohibited and banned tools, it occurs to me that the panel making the determination had no oysters on it. :)

Wow after reading the list of banned knives, they could have saved themselves some space and made a list of knives people could have. Though I dunno what those would be, other than butter knife or putty knife.
 
weirdest definition of a kuk ,Ive ever heard! :barf:

Weapon #: 0203
Weapon Id Information

Category: Prohibited Imports (B709B)
Type: Knives & Daggers

Whats your input on this Rod? from this it sounds bad, are you sorted?

cheers,

Wow.

They've certainly expanded the "collectables" market.

pepper spray collectors, citronella spray collectors, slingshot collectors, laser pointer collectors, short-stick collectors, bat collectors, spanner collectors, hammer collectors, screwdriver collectors...

I think they've out-done California
 
Spiral, this is only the State of Victoria, though my understanding is that other States may follow , some items have been banned for a long time eg ''daggers'' I believe genuine collectors would be exempted . the description on the customs form for importation is key here. Watching it all with interest.
Cheers Rod
 
Hoplophobic Morons. What else can you expect? Next they'll be banning plastic toy swords and guns just like their idiot English forbears.

Obviously it's not about safety, but about control.

Fools & Knaves. :mad:
