tbh
all that house sword business really winds me up.

A friend of mine living in his first flat after uni. lived above some lowlife pyscho type who took it upon himself to attack my mates father with one when he came to visit. luckily not a fully sharpened one so it only cut his arm to the bone instead of removing said arm.

I believe there was some talk about banning/licensing the sale Samurai swords etc. In an ideal world the licensing should go like this (simmilar for handguns)
'do you want one?'
'Yes'
'The you can't have one because you are obviously unhinged!'

Broadswords however no problem, you don't hear of people running around the streets attacking MP's and others with those nearly as often.

You may have point
Apparently the swords owner used to have a bedtime ritual that required him to dress up like a super hero and patrol the house with the sword. "to ensure the house is safe every night"
