What would the Wallace have thought?

From Scotland, via the BBC:

First Minister Jack McConnell has announced a five-point programme to clamp down on knife crime.

The maximum jail term for possessing an offensive weapon will be doubled from two years to four under the proposals.

He wants to ban the sale of swords and introduce a licensing scheme for retailers selling knives. . .

Turning to the proposals, he said that the sale of swords was "fundamentally wrong".
