Well now...
Besides being into Guns Guns GUNS!!! I am also starting to get into knives/swords/etc [as I am sure many of us are] so when I opened up one of the gun magazines recently and saw a really intriguing, Klingon-lookin' blade I was of course quite interested in researching it more in-depth.
Alas, time constraints prevented me from delving too deeply into the ad initially, however this morning I did take a look at the ad and in the search for the website address I find this statement:
"Intended for Military and Law Enforement Professionals ONLY" :x
Well Ex-F'in-Cuse me for being a lowly g*ddamned CIVILIAN!!!! It would appear that these folks think the knife is TOO dangerous and scary looking for me to own, or else they believe deep in their hearts that the whole Second Amendment Right to Keep and Bear Arms [which, as I note, did not specifically prohibit citizens from owning knives that looked like something Kalis would own] was a mistake and that only "Military and Law Enforcement Professionals" should have anything more potent than a dull toothpick...
[Incidentally, it is not by choice that I am not either in the military or law enforcement, but whatever. Thanks again lousy health, you sure make living my life - my way - damn near impossible!]
But yeah, I was all keen on getting the website and checking this beast out... Now I have the web address but am so riled that I NEVER want to click on the link! Hey, if I am not good enough for their blade then I will find someone else who will sell me a quality blade that I am 'worthy' to own.
Some might argue that the "intended" part of the phrase doesn't mean I :: can't :: own one, but damnit that one line - ONE LINE - in the ad shows a disdain for 'civilians' [peons?] that just chaps my hide!
So yeah, I'm a lowly peon civilian... A lowly peon civilian that is going to take my unworthy dollars elsewhere. Congratulations!
