Let me pose some questions to you:
Should a gang be able to walk through a shopping complex wielding swords menacingly, scaring everyone else in the vicinity?
Should a martial artist be able to own and use a sword for the purpose of their sport?
Should a mentally unstable person be able to get their hands on a gun?
Should a professional shooter, farmer or paintballer be able to own and use a firearm/paintball marker for sport or work?
