Why are they making a big deal about samurai swords in this bullshido propaganda news story, idgaf what happened factually, the real reason any police activity was involved was because of the 7 guns at the premises that aren’t shown in the thumbnail pic yet in the description? why try and make a big deal about 1 katana 1 wakizashi and 1 tanto, that from my sword experience do not even seem to be legitimate steel? the rest are basically hunting knives you can find at any sporting goods stores next to your guns and ammunitions. The guy could have been threatening his roommate with a broken stick, would you have collected the stick and made a front page picture out of it for propaganda purposes then too? or is it just because it is weapon related or a new type of weapon to chastise like samurai swords, let me remind you history get uglier and uglier when repeated by uglier oligarchies. Swords have been outlawed before and had harsh restrictions put on them before, tainting most of its original sacred image. Do not ever put swords in the same classification as guns or killing machines, anyone can pull a trigger and kill someone thoughtlessly with zero training, but it takes years of mastery to wield a sword to its true potential like an actual art form, it is not a cold blooded murder weapon like the standard issued artillery of todays gangs, police force, and military. Swords become an extension of ones innerself, and the respect for the blade and its destructive force, you train like you would with any other art to hone the destructive force with peaceful balance bringing enlightenment. Most true swordsman practitioners do not even envision an enemy, or a killing blow when visualizing execution of form, it becomes more of a metaphysical and spiritual process. Again these are not just thoughtless killing articles to most masses who have never indulged in sword training, swords are sacred genuine art and were made to protect. Guns were just created for the soul purpose of more fire power and delivering more killing.
