Normalcy is a tricky word, and a surprisingly nebulous concept when you try to define it. Either way, there are certainly insiders and outsiders when it comes to specific interests, hobbies, subcultures, etc. People outside of the sword community (or knife enthusiasts or "gun nuts") may find it hard to understand why anyone "needs" weapons.
So here is an attempt to explain why. Also my perspective on what sort of dystopian society we would live in the default was that everything you want to do or own needed to be justified and was banned otherwise.
