Sword killing no cause for cheers

I just for the life of me can't see how I'd feel any pangs of guilt in removing him from the street. If anything, I'd feel relieved that the streets are just a little bit safer now (and I'd probably feel an important need to watch my back for a while).

I've never killed a man, but I know a cop who has a couple times. In both cases, the deceased were scum bag career criminals who had to be killed in order to save either himself or his partner. Dispite this, after each killing, he was haunted for months with feelings of guilt.

Killing is psychologically difficult for most normal people no matter how righteous and justified it happens to be.

If you’re going to get a katana, don’t buy it off the shopping channel.

Not a chance. All my katana are Cold Steel or Bugei:
