All You Need To Buy A Sword On The Internet Is A Credit Card

True fact: when Ben Miller drunkenly pitches you a pumpkin, you can wield Longclaw to cleave it in two. I have a video of this that I will post once Amanda Mattos gives it to me.

Now, a policy note I feel compelled to append. Longclaw isn't a samurai sword or anything. But it's 50 inches long and hefty. I split an airborne pumpkin in half with ease. The point is that my new sword can hurt someone.

All I needed to purchase it was a credit card. No background check, no nothing. I take a more sanguine view of personal arms control than many of my fellow liberals do. But it fells like something should have made sure I wasn't a psycho before I got delivery of my new sword.

An old friend of mine once defended against an intruder with his "decorative" katana. The burglar made it MOST of the way in the window before feeling the sword's bite. I am certain that even today he would consider the sword much more functional than decorative.

The Salinas cops thought it was hilarious. My friend's wife, getting recruited to help clean up the mess, was less amused.

Well done sir, well done.

Thanks to that credit card, you were able to purchase that longclaw. That does look very deadly, considering you can halve a pumpkin with ease using that. Anyways, congrats to your new sword!
