This “joke” has been co-opted by xenophobic conservative Americans so often that I really struggle to appreciate it, even when you use it rather innocently like here. I’m not even a Brit and have grown quite tired of it. It comes from the same bag as cheese eating surrender monkeys for the French.
I’m all for friendly ribbing, just a bit tired of this particular one because I saw it used in unsavoury ways too many times (I’d probably argue the same about school shootings jabs, even if that’s a bit different). Just spreading a bit of awareness about it, I could tell you weren’t being mean or actually using this as a xenophobic argument, but others before you have.
So does mean samurai swords too, those decorative ones I have on a three tier mount like these?

Look, they get to make fun of us for our shootings, we get to make fun of them for their loicenses for everything. It’s a fair trade.
That’s actually xenophobic because the French kick ass when they feel like it. Hell, they’re basically the only reason America won independence.

Pretty sure they mean this upswept point at the end:
Which I’m also pretty sure means the ones you have are targeted by this law and it’s a good idea to surrender them.
If they’re blunt or made before 1954, you’re good.
As a curved blade I think they’re all already banned, so this law does nothing to you
