Because some people unfortunately, are TOO stupid to realise that swords can't do much without handlers. So the government are gonna spend another large amount of money banning cheaper swords when most blade related incidents are done with kitchen knives, multi tools and other 'shanks'. It's not actually the swords fault really because if you look at a full sized katana, they're not that easy to hide, unless you're incredibly tall, but even then your walking would be out of order and you'll have a sword sticking out the back. I blame the incompetence of some police force.
