Title: UK To Ban ‘Ninja Swords’ By This Summer

The United Kingdom is banning even more types of blades in hope of getting on top of its crime problem, “ninja swords” being the latest specific blade shape blamed for killings.

British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer flaunts a “manifesto commitment delivered” this week as he announces what the government calls “ninja swords” are to be banned later this year. From the first day of August, anyone owning such a weapon faces six months in prison, and this penalty will later increase to two years, it was said.

This is a major step-up from the law presently, which differentiates between swords — which can be objects of art — in private collections, and with actually wielding a sword as a weapon in public. Running up to the ban, the government will be running a sword surrender scheme.

The government’s definition, offered in its statement today, claims a “ninja sword” is in the “majority” of cases characterised by a “a blade between 14 inches and 24 inches with one straight cutting edge with a tanto style point”. A tanto point is a relatively shallow chisel-like tip, developed to make the sword more effective against armoured opponents, unlike a more fragile tapered points which can be prone to snapping if used aggressively.

The “ninja sword” ban is the latest instance of the United Kingdom’s governments demonstrating a belief that it is the availability of tools like swords or even kitchen knives that results in knife crime. The government has previously banned what it calls “zombie knives”, a modern form of machete which typically feature a serrated back edge and lurid colours.

The National Police Chiefs’ Council said at the time of the Zombie Knife ban that “Dealing with the accessibility of deadly and intimidating weapons is key and we are doing all we can to reduce how easily they can end up in the wrong hands”. And yet, somehow, UK knife crime is still on the rise. In fact knife crime has only fallen one year in the past decade, in 2020, the year of the Coronavirus lockdowns.

The British government also obsessed over the availability of knives in the aftermath of the Southport killings, the Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer blasting online retailer Amazon.com for selling kitchen knives, the British media following suite. There is even a celebrity-backed campaign in the UK to ban the sale of kitchen knives with a point, claiming this isn’t needed for an average home chef and could simply be rounded off.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage, a critic of this approach, responded: “Starmer wants us to talk about how a 17 year old could buy a knife online. The truth is there are murder weapons in every kitchen drawer. What we should be talking about is the total failure to stop this terrorist & the cover-up of information that the public were entitled to.”

Comment section says it all.

"UK To Ban ‘Ninja Swords’ By This Summer"

Yeah.

I predict that the Government in the UK will soon also ban
the open carrying of
walking sticks by old men and old women.

But that THE PROTECTION of the 'human rights'
of violent criminals in the UK,
will still enable those persons, to go about in society in order to assault and kill their fellow citizens.

.

Sorry, quotes below were archived......
and i omitted to save the original links.......

bokken, is a Japanese   wooden   [practice] sword.
......i.e.      essentially, just a wooden stick.


In ancient Japan, the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi,
often went about carrying only a fighting stick.....

[i.e.  ....not even a 'Ninja Sword'       :P    ]


Quote:

Miyamoto Musashi (1584-1645)

Miyamoto Musashi [c. 1584 – June 13, 1645] was an expert Japanese swordsman and ronin,
and held by many to be the greatest Japanese swordsman that ever lived.

It is interesting to note, that Miyamoto Musashi in many of his duels, often preferred to fight with a bokken [a wooden sword], even when his opponent chose a Katana [a traditional steel sword].



.


Quote:

"Miyamoto Musashi, a kenjutsu master, was renowned for fighting fully armed foes with only one or two bokken. In a famous legend, he defeated Sasaki Kojiro with a bokken he had carved from an oar while traveling on a boat to the predetermined island for the duel.[2]"



.


Quote:

From 1605 to 1612, he travelled extensively all over Japan in musha shugy?, a warrior pilgrimage during which he honed his skills with duels. He was said to have used bokken or bokuto in actual duels. Most of the engagements from these times did not try to take the opponent's life unless both agreed, but in most duels, it is known that Musashi did not care which weapon his foe used — such was his mastery.
......Musashi is said to have fought over 60 duels and was never defeated, although this is a conservative estimate, most likely not accounting for deaths by his hand in major battles.

Q.
How far, has our own 'civilised society' 'slipped',
and abandoned historic societal norms, and good and decent    "discrimination"    ???


decent = = conforming with generally accepted standards of morality or respectability.

I don't believe that any individual within our 'political class' today,
here in Australia,
could possibly claim to understand what the word 'decency' and what decent social behaviour, embraces.


.


Deuteronomy 25:1
If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked.


Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.


Proverbs 28:4
They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.


Proverbs 29:2
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.


Proverbs 28:5
Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand all things.

How many crimes are actually committed with these swords?

The UK heard that Australia has a problem with machetes.
So they decided to show their superiority and name Ninja Swords like some Ashes match.

Move over UFC and Boxing. Sword fights on are on the way

'Turn on a dime'.

.


Q.
How many crimes
are actually being   facilitated   by our Australian LAWMAKERS,
in their refusal to draft laws which could easily, permanently remove convicted violent criminals from our cities and suburbs ?

facilitate = = make easy or easier.


RELATED.......
I see today, Sunday, Peter Dutton made a 'community' visit to Madinah Mosque in Leppington, NSW.
https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/dutton-backtracks-on-two-referendum-ideas-digs-in-on-deportation-20250330-p5lnkt.html

I presume, this is because Peter Dutton wants to publicise to ALL AUSTRALIANS,
that Peter Dutton and the Australian Liberal Party strongly support
ISLAMIC religious values,
being promoted in all of Australia ??


I mean, that has got to be one consequence, of such a 'community' visit
by an Australian national political leader, to a local mosque,
DURING AN ELECTION CAMPAIGN.

i.e.
Many followers of ISLAM living in Australia, have demonstrated [in past decades] by their behaviour withing Australia that......
all things are LAWFUL to followers of ISLAM living in Australia,
if they are permitted by ISLAMIC law
.

Murder,    .....for the sake of Allah's religion.

Isaiah 1:16
Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;
17  Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
18  Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
19  If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:
20  But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.


Isaiah 1:21
How is the faithful city become an harlot! it was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.
22  Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water:
23  Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of thieves: every one loveth gifts, and followeth after rewards: they judge not the fatherless, neither doth the cause of the widow come unto them.

Yes they do. Furthermore, Dutton has secretly been visiting the Labor Party in the House for 70-80 days each year and will back Labor to win.

Not many Ninja swords around compared to Samurai swords (Katana)
Ninja sword is a little shorter so it can be drawn when carried on your back.
The end of the scabbard holds a small blade turning it into a spear also holds to small knives.
Scabbard can also be used as a snorkel if hiding under water.

I would say next to zero people are attacked with a Ninja sword if a Japanese sword is used more likely a Katana.

I have a Ninja sword it's sharp has gold plating looks nice worth a fair bit. Never been used in any crimes.

Ninjas were used for surveillance and monitoring.
Everything else about them is your typical Hollywood lie.
Just like the Democrats.

“Young black men make up about 3% of the population in London and they commit 60% of the knife murders. You can’t get away from that.”

Former DCI Mike Neville explains why black youths are stopped-and-searched more often on The Liz Truss Show.

There are around 250 gun deaths in Oz / year, mostly by using guns. These are now slashed back to 4 for city hunting and 10 for massacres in the bush. British rabbits are on the run and the limit for Ninja blades is 3 in London and 15 on the moors and savannah.  (Scots are something else).

"Why do people claim crime is falling? In 1938, there were 8,000 inmates in all of Britain. Today there are more than 80,000 – most with many more indictable offences. It's obvious the crime rate has increased enormously."
