<p>I guess you aren’t from Texas or certain hunting states where most people own hunting rifles or guns and some openly display them in their homes. I don’t know anyone who didn’t own a gun where I grew up. Did I know people who owned huge knives? Yes. Everyone. Everyone I knew had a block of knives in their kitchen. And most kids had bats. So I think it is weird to be creeped out by a samurai sword unless you were raised in a culture and/or country where most people don’t have those things in their homes. Pretty common in the USA.</p>
