Connor MacLeod, Call Your Service


Samurai swords are to be banned in Britain-- no, make that imitation samurai swords.

Since locking up real criminals is too much like hard work, the British government decided that the best way to fight violent crime is to treat the general public like the enemy and deny them even decorative replica swords. It's times like this that I'm glad I'm based in Washington State, as I have no intention of surrendering the daisho that I hauled around the world for twenty years and now has pride of place in my office.

Heck, even Britain's Jedi are worried about this one.

    Hell, they'll get my wakizashi when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.
