Knives and pistols deemed illegal!

"Daggers and pistols are weapons utterly unserviceable for defense, military practice, or other lawful use, but odious and noted instruments of murder and mischief."

"Citizens are commanded not to henceforth presume to wear or carry about them any such dagger or pistol, upon pain of our princely indignation and displeasure, imprisonment, and censure."

I was sorting through my extensive library of photographs this afternoon, and came across this proclamation against weaponry, by James I (James VI of Scotland), issued in 1616. That bloody pom wanker was the very first democrat.

Sounds a lot like the 1958 Act that made switchblades illegal. Fortunately our Governor Scott Walker made automatic knives legal again.

One of the members of a forum (maybe from here) quoted a warning, "When the government tells you that you do not need a gun, the first thing you need is a gun."
