People seem to have lost sight of the fact that by being on a jury means you are contributing your share to your community.
That's very nice, in theory. Unfortunately many times people are judged simply because the jury wants to wrap it up and go home or because they don't like the person's face. Of course since in every system human beings judge human beings the problem exists everwhere but it's like someone said sometimes these people are simply too ignorant to do what they're doing.

Interesting idea, but since a lot of crimes preformed with guns are done so with illegal firearms, or at least unregistered ones, it would matter not. I would like that however since I have about ten melee weapons on my wall including, axes, longs swords, and halberds.
Nice now those are the true weapons!

My fiance and I bought a set of three together, but no, they wearn't terribly expensive and they are pretty good quality too. I wouldn't try hacking someone up with one, or fighting blade to blade with them (my poor sabre still needs to be taken back to the metal smith to get the nicks and dents out), but they seem sturdy enough.

Civilians = swords
Military = guns
Hopefully that would increase patriotism as everyone wants their guns lol. Anyway does
anyone know where I can get good prices on weapons? I'm especially interested in
Katanas (especially the double katanas), claymores, broadswords, bastard swords, and
shurikens. I would like to start a collection. If you have any information it would help
greatly.

in Japan you could get a pretty decent katan for as little as £40 :eek:
but i never bought one coz i'd never be able to get it passed customs :mad:

They may contradict one another but I reckon that a fair remedy to many of our present ill's would present itself if we could come to terms with this very contradiction.
