Swords are faster than guns if anime has taught me anything

they are in a lot of ways, but only at close range

there are too many variables that makes the most uninformed person circlejerk debate about it though

a skilled HEMA swordsman can wreck a gunman fumbling to pull out his holster with a high guard, if the high guard posture is correct and not overly elaborate with the sword at your back like a loving moron, your counter is going to cleave with the most force possible. I say high guard because it has the most downward force and will cleave a poor motherfucker in half.

but its too technical, meaning you have to be correct 100% of the time in your postures and movement, the gunman only has to pull his finger to pray and win to be lucky once. A lot of people who attempt to practice it are cringe-geralt wannabes so guns are easy which is why idiots cling to them to feel powerful with a shortcut.

Around here the most common street assault is to hide between parked cars or in the mouth of an alley and wait for someone to walk by then pop out and point a gun at their back and say "i am pointing a gun at you now give me things"

No one has ever hacked up an elementary school with a sword. I think we should ban all guns and switch over to exclusively edged weapons.

As a fat boy in high school i went on a rollercoaster called the mind eraser and my belly was too plump or something so the harness popped out immediately after starting and it was one of those ones where you're in a dangling harness so your feet are free and then it also had the magnetic launcher thing so when that shot off so did my harness and i had to hold the harness down as i went through all the crazy loops and poo poo
Best rollercoaster ride of my life! Hell of a thrill!

If I was near a school shooting I would turn my hat backwards and smoke a cigarette and go up to the shooter like "school sucks huh" and make friends with him and he would stop. Similar situation with a school swordman, but with them I'd talk about Ruroni Kenshin.
