              Cause they're cool, does he need a reason?

              I have a couple of bayonets. One's a repro M1905 16-incher, I'd get a real one but it's just a little more expensive than what I'm willing to pay for what's basically a big knife. Also I don't have a springfield or garand to stick it on the end of sadly.

                But I don't get it. Do you run around in the park playing with them?

                  No, it just sits in its box mostly. I've opened a box or two with it for the hell of it. It kind of sucks for that though, it doesn't hold a fantastic edge and it's just too damn big to actually be useful. It looks cool though, that's enough for me.

                      If it helps any, it's probably not much good at killing people either.

                        Guess it shouldn't be a surprise as medical groups have been warning about it for years, but I must admit I was kind of hoping for some amazing new leap in medicine that would avoid it before it became a huge threat.

                          I'm not really concerned about it from a public safety standpoint. I bought stuff like nunchucks and a cheap ass ninja sword... I dunno... just because I could.

                            They presumably lose this resistance far more slowly than they acquire them.

                              Seems presumptuous.
