    I love the government announcing things that were already crimes are still crimes.

      It was illegal to own one? I understand using it or carrying in public, but literally owning one???

          Carrying it in public can mean literally displaying it in your front yard in many jurisdictions, so I don’t really agree with your assessment.

            for self defense i’d give a very maybe. nobody is gonna try to rob a person who has a sword and the thing is not exactly hideable

            also a sword… for hunting? that’ll make the person wielding the sword in more danger than the animals themselves

              in Alaska you can hunt with a bow and arrow in more places than you can use guns, and crossbows everywhere guns are allowed.
