    I don’t want to undercut the tragedy of lost life here, but I pity people doing HEMA fencing or similar hobbies in UK.

    As I understand it the government was already stupid about some anti-sword/knife laws and this won’t help…

      Swords are already pretty regulated in the UK last I learnt about this topic. Matt Easton from Schola Gladiatoria has a video on it somewhere

        Yeah, Matt Easton is why I know about it. My point being, if they were paranoid about swords before, what will they do now
