Actually rather than revolution our laws are being made silly due to two other imports from America - excessive spin doctoring of politics and fear of litigation. Each ban tends to be introduced since the government cannot stand up to the PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. in hysteria after a single criminal incident. One lunatic comits a sensational enough crime with a weapon to make it to the media, the PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. are up in arms, and the govt bans another weapon rather than lose any votes. Anyone who tries to defend legitimate use of said weapon/tool/art object then branded as a child murderer in the press for daring to speak out.
Sad. litigation due to the least common denominator.
