Hmm...not all those in favor of "moderate" controls want to ban all weapons- I hope that's not what you meant.
That said, the whole thing seems ridiculous in that, even if you believe that there is a widespread sword-based crime threat (chuckle), the people committing said crimes will not be the ones following the rules. It's the same argument I have against banning guns (except of course for the threat thing - guns do pose a large threat).
My dearest friend, if you don't mind
I'd like to join you by your side
Where we can gaze into the stars
And sit together, now and forever
For it is plain as anyone can see
We're simply meant to be
