And guns are so much CLEANER and mor efficient than knives!!!!! I always liked the scene in "Raiders of the lost ark" where there's this swordsman demonstrating threateningly with his swords, and Indy just shoots him - problem solved.
Bottom line you'll NOT take guns from criminals. You'll only get 'em from law abiding citizens who wouldn't have used them to begin with.
OF COURSE THE DEMOCRATS (SWAMP) want guns gone - so that they can be the only -people with them!!!!
That was one of favorite Harrison Ford scenes. In all honesty I have to admit that in reality, the sword has been a formidable weapon since the Garden of Eden.
-Jesus created the first sword that the angel guarded the garden with.
-He speaks of the sword proceeding forth from Him mouth in Revelation at the end of the Bible.
-There is no limit in magazine capacity. They continue to provide complete penetration and multiple wound channels as long as the person has strength to utilize his sword.
-There are trade-offs to everything. The benefits of the side arm is that if range. In most scenarios a good martial artist will not telegraph his intentions by showing off with a display to wow the crowd or attempt to intimidate their opponents.
-1898 The Phillipine- American War began following a major win against the Spanish Navy in Cuba. American Navy and Marines went to capture the Philippines from the Spanish . When they got to the Southern islands they had trouble with their Indiana Jones .38 caliber revolvers. The native Moros were absorbing sidearm shots as they charged and slaughtering American sailors as fast as they could swing their blades. Those who could afford them used the Kriss to bravely dismember troops with those "inferior weapons."
John Browning was commissioned to design and produce a side arm that could be quickly deployed and reliably fire at least a .45 caliber bullet. The most famous handgun still in use today is the result, the Model 1911.
It had a significant increase in stopping power.
It was necessitated by the powerful, native, sword welding tribesmen of the Philippines.
The one benefit of the firearm in warfare was range.
In close range combat, the most skilled and determined is most often the victor.
Often the outcome is determined by who throws the first punch or draws and skillfully applies the weapon of choice first. Face to face, that may or may not be a blade.
I've been attacked by murderous beasts with blades, guns, stones and poison. I'm not a fan of one over the other. The outcome is often lethal.
