Owning a ninja sword in UK will soon be illegal amid surge in knife crime

Beginning on Aug. 1, 2025, owning, possessing, producing, importing or selling ninja swords will be illegal in the United Kingdom.

The new rule was introduced in Parliament on Thursday, March 27, after Conservatives rejected a ninja sword ban last year.

Why are some opposed to the law?

Opponents of the law say law-abiding sword owners should not have to give up their weapons, citing their use among historians, collectors and hobbyists.

Conservatives also point out that less than 1% of deaths by a knife in the nation come by way of such swords.

What is the punishment for breaking this law?

Any person caught with these swords by authorities starting on Aug. 1 faces up to six months in prison, and that sentence could reportedly go up to two years, depending on the fate of a new crime bill in Parliament.

A law enforcing a sentence of up to four years for carrying a weapon in public in Britain is already in place.

As the new measure is implemented, sword owners will be reimbursed for willingly handing over their weapons as a way to get the swords out of the hands of citizens.

First they came for the AR-15 owners, and I said nothing because I wasn't one.

Then they came for the handgun owners, and I said nothing because I wasn't one.

Then they came for the long gun owners, and I said nothing because I wasn't one.

Then they came for the knife owners, and I said nothing because I wasn't one.

Then they came for me and my ninja sword, and by that time there was no one left to speak up.

This obssessive liar is pretending to not know about knife laws in the US. "Hey, political debate is about seeing what lies you can get away with!"

Incidentally, knife laws are stricter than gun laws in the US supposedly because when all those laws were originally being constructed, white farmers could afford guns but mexicans and blacks could only afford knives, hence the much greater restrictions on knives

”owning, possessing, producing, importing or selling ninja swords will be illegal in the United Kingdom.”

Kudos to the UK government who takes this seriously and protects its citizens from unwanted violence and death. In Sweden, our government has still not made explosives or guns illegal. As a result, the number of bomb attacks has increased explosively since the new right-wing government took power.
