i didnt know what exatly to put this under...
hi my name is justin and im 16. i live in the bronx, ny. and im into the oreintal stuff, so recently i bought a katana. (its a sword) its not sharp or anything, but my father hetes it. he said he thinks one day i might get angry at him and chop him to piecies. which makes sense, but my father owns a desert eagle( a gun) thet he brought back from the war( its either the vietnam of persien, im not sure..) so should he complain even though he owns a gun?

No. Those swords aren't made to hurt people. Your dad has a gun and one shot of that could fatally injure you. Hope I helped!

dont complain. then he might think your not mature. maybe make a compromise, youll keep both of them in something locked

Should he complain? Maybe not.
But the deal here is, he is the adult and you aren't. He makes the rules of the house and you don't. He chooses what weapons are okay to have in the house, that is part of his responsiblity as a father.
If you want to keep the sword I'd suggest talking to your father seriously and calmly. Chances are accusing him about his gun will not help you keep your sword. So stick to your own issues, it is unsharpened, decorative only, and you know better to turn it on a person, right?

I'm not sure how much you know about wars, and psychology. Sometimes when people come back from wars, they have trouble with memories of killing people, or watching their friends die. It sounds to me like your father could sometimes have difficulty with certain things because they remind him of the time at which he was fighting. Neither do I know how your relations with your dad are. Maybe you should talk to him about it, because he might surprise you.
But if he's serious, you really should do everything you can to convince him that you would never hurt him, at every opportunity.
His gun is probably for the memories - it might not even fire anymore (he could have decommissioned it). Then again, if he's the jumpy kind, maybe he feels like he needs it for defense, like incase you attack him with your katana ^.-
So basically, your father probably has a reason for hating your sword, but maybe you can help him to feel safe enough to know you would never chop him up if you got angry. If he really has a lot of trouble with things like that then maybe you shouldn't go in for oriental weapons, and accept that he can't deal with them.

lol hes your father and its realla his house sell the sword and get yourself something pretty but ask your dad if you can keep it but he says no the respect his wishs

Konfused,
Perhaps your dad is keeping his Desert Eagle for memories? Something like that would be a treasure. My grandfather has several of his older guns from the Vietnamese war. Perhaps your dad is keeping the gun for safety reasons? Maybe he's keeping it because one day it might be worth a good deal of money? Or perhaps, just maybe, he thinks it could be an heirloom one day? Whatever his reasoning, you have to realize that he's a responsible adult, and he lived through a war. That is definitely tough.
Perhaps you could get a glass case to mount your Katana in? If you put it in a glass case and lock the case, your dad shouldn't have anything to fear. You and your father could find a suitable place to keep it, perhaps he wouldn't fear so much.
Should he complain? Well, I can't say that he SHOULD or SHOULD NOT complain, but he obviously has his reasonings. Act responsibly and maturely and I'm quite sure he'll feel more at ease.

I think that he does have a bit of a right because you know for a fact that he is not going to shoot you if you do something wrong. Which at least is a good sign showing that he still does love you. Yet, he is insecure that you may not love him, and that you may actually attack him. It's the only reason he is complaining.
Is it hypocritical to complain about the weapon? Yes. But I do think it is justified. Parents can never be sure...

Dude, you're cool! Oriental stuff kicks ass! Well, when I bought my swords (which are sharpened), my parents were worried that I would cut myself or my friends swinging it around and stuff. But when I showed them that I didn't hurt myself (actually I did, but small cuts on the fingers don't count) then they started letting me buy more weapons. You should just tell you're dad to relax and that you wouldn't think of cutting him (you wouldn't do that, riiiight?) and say something like he has his thing and you have yours.
Also, I do agree with one of the people below. Your dad might be keeping that gun for sentimental values. I hope I helped.

well he probably has the gun to remember the war, and it probably means very much to him. I'm sure if you keep the sword in a responsible place, there wont be a problem. What im trying to say is, he has a different reason for his "weapon" then you do.
