In the Autumn of 2017, the Great State of Texas legalized the open-carry of swords and other large, bladed weapons, including knives, daggers, spears, bardiches, and so on.
A cursory googling of "sword related deaths in Texas" yields no results, save for 1 single incident in the year 2012.
I understand the imperative of preserving firearm rights and the second amendment; however, were guns to actually be illegalized the world over, including military and police application, what kind of a future can you see.
Please remember this question is purely hypothetical, so suspend your disbelief for a time and dream with me.
lmao you pathetic racist, you really think that carrying a sword around like some kind of larpy faggot is going to secure you an ethnostate for yourself and your own "people"? fucking pathetic
The idea is "what if" not "we should," you illiterate nigger. For example, what if you kill yourself? Like today?

It's legal to open carry a sword in California and I've been thinking about doing it for a while, since I'm a nobleman and directly descendant from real knights.
Would still probably get the cops called on me tho.

Everybody laughs at a guy walking up to them with a sword until their jawbone comes spinning off.
Real talk, all these gun motherfuckers are going to be out of bullets from shooting each other (and birds) after the first month of collapse. After the second month, all the gun motherfuckers who stockpiled insane amounts of bullets will be out too.
Blades don't need reloading.

What if I invent a sword with a hollow blade filled with smaller cylindrical swords, full of combustible material that would hurtle at high speeds towards my opponent when said material was sparked by a third trigger-and-firing-mechanism shaped sword?
Cameron Diaz
Protip: wear a cape, or a cloak, or at least a fancy medieval hat. This will make it much easier to avoid suspicion when open carrying medieval weapons in public.
Jackson Bailey
I'm not sure if in places where open-carry guns were legal, laws concerning projectiles would still be in place. E.g. ballistic knives, and bow/arrows are not probably okay to open carry.

if they're for children why are they so veiny? Fucking creeps
Caleb Rogers
Read the op bro, it's a hypothetical wherein NO ONE has guns. For whatever reason. The effect on world politics would be undeniable. Don't be a retard.
Benjamin Peterson
Actually sounds based af. Bring dueling back. When another man slanders you and tarnishes your name; challenge them to a d-d-d-duel

Blades do break, though. Your Albion Knecht Kriegsmesser might be hot shit when you're cutting tatami, or ballistic gel zombie simulacra, but what happens when SHTF and the guy you're slicing at lifts a $9 crowbar or a piece of free rebar or pipe to parry your swing? Your glorious blade gets damaged, and eventually it will fail. And in a real collapse "eventually" will come sooner rather than later.
Relying on the sword was one thing during the age of the sword, when you could replace a broken sword with an enemy's in a moment and blacksmiths were constantly churning out new ones. But in a post-collapse event, we're looking at a completely different scenario. Your sword is going to snap, you will not have any way to repair it, and stocking up on swords is going to cost significantly more than a gun and enough ammo to outlast the first month.

Everyone knows swords and other poking/chopping implements go hand in hand with nationalism. If your country had a specific style since ages ago, great. Newer countries that never really had enough identity early on would be given a chance to invent something great to symbolize the spirit of their country.

I have a short spear that I would carry around everywhere. I'd get myself a small buckler and just spartan wall myself into a doorway.
Owen Powell
That's a fair point. Such being the case, there would likely be a huge uptick in production specialists, machine operators, metllurgy scholars and so on. There's a metal called ZDP187, used mostly for knives, but is guaranteed to never break. It's hard as fuck (explains the whole knife thing, hard sword are supposed to break. This stuff might only bend if it's too lengthy).
Dominic Martin
I genuinely miss seeing new videos of neckbeards playing with their swords. I feel like there is no more OC from that crowd
Angel Cruz
Bayonet for the win. It's been proven the spear was a far superior weapon than the sword. Also bow and arrows would probably make a comeback
Gavin Phillips
So, in a non-collapse scenario, when literally every single person and entity removes guns in their entirety from the planet peaceably, what then? Just regular old people, same as usual, just no guns or missiles. That's my hypothetical.
