Leo Sayer 2,337 Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 Heard on the news driving home about the 3 girls killed and young lad arrested, didn't know it was with a crossbow though. Tragic news poor girls. And I agree a ban deffo coming and probably very soon. On a different note on this thread I have been watching on YouTube, Dries Visser African bow hunting outfitters. Has been not a bad watch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a couple of his DVD’s about 12 years back,him and his dad,but the son was the one who took out archers. I can think of two double homicides with crossbows,one in Toronto one in the UK,yesterdays spree kill was unprecedented. Had a meal in a really nice place last night,the walls were covered in Assyrian battles with archers prominent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously crossbows can be deadly as can a lot of things in the wrong hands. If they are going to do anything then maybe licencing is the best policy. But look at how many illegal guns are out on the streets, converted replicas, converted blank firers. Them zip guns or pipe guns or them plungers in a tube, I remember a lad having one of them 30 years ago when digging. A lot of household implements can be used as a murder weapon. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
