Bow and Arrow Control NOW!

You can kill people with your bare hands. One would argue that hands are the reason most crimes happen. Because you need hands to drive the car that hits people, pull the trigger and generally do bad things.

Ban hands!

Hands don't kill people, people do! Oh wait...hmmm...:unsure13:

Yea, we all need to register our hands as deadly weapons, to not be able to go to public places with them. If there were less hands, the world would be a better place. We would still have to worry about criminals smuggling in hands, but if we put a ban on hands EVERYWHERE there would be no more violence.
 
The constitution only guarentees the right to own firearms - which a bow isn't.

I suppose we could allow hunters to have single shot bows, but certainly we should agree that assault bows should be outlawed:

Worse - 20mm full auto slingshots:



And even slingshot cannons!



Additionally, minimally a license should be requird for conceal bows:

 
This whole line of *subpar reasoning* is **** full of fail.

When the criminals commit their crimes with a nail gun, or a baseball bat, or a samurai sword, or a super-soaker full of gasoline and a lighter, then what? You are back to square one. Criminals will commit their crimes using whatever they can find. So rather than blame the individuals who chose to break the law, we're going to ban a tool they used?

Why?
I know a fella whose weapon for defense is a small super soaker filled with an extremely caustic chemical that will not harm plastic.
 
It would almost be entertaining to watch a bow-wielding Robin-in-the-hood try to hold up a grocery store with having only one shot before he's gunned down by police.

That's assuming the police are always at the grocery store. Of course, if the grocery store had a sale on doughnuts, I suppose that would attract the police.

The 2nd amendment says "arms" not "firearms", it also says keep and bear (carry). How is a "license" (unless free and given to all) not "infringement"?

Well, yeah, if you want to get TECHNICAL. Geez.
 
My wife comments that life on earth is a bizarre exorbitant perpetual slaughterhouse of countless trillions of creatures killing each other and eating each other every day for which much of life - from the tiniest to the largest - is dependent upon murdering and eating other living beings.

She also believes physical pain is totally uncalled for and and an outrageous design.

They put pain in there to end laziness. Some animals would be slaughtered while standing there, not fighting back. We couldn't have that. There needs to be sport.
 
Bows don't kill people, arrows do. So just ban the arrow, and let people shoot harmless things like corn on the cob!
 
I kind of agree and disagree.

I agree that Bow and Arrow is very dangerous and should be restricted.

However, I disagree with the fact that Bow and Arrow is a murderous weapon and should be banned. Although it has the ability to kill, Bow and Arrow has less lethal force compared with guns and also there are less chances of someone dying from an arrow shot than a gun shot because a bullet travels much faster than an arrow.

These are just my opinions :).

On the first part, your wife is right. For everything that lives, something else must die. Imo, this is a subject which is probably closely intertwined with the human religious impulse, becaus it implies sacrifice as a necessity for life.

As for the second part, my thoughts are that pain is natural, as without it, there would be no concept of its opposite.
 
Animals kill each other with teeth and claws. We need to ban all life.

Oh don't be silly. Let's just ban mosquitoes, and viruses. Imagine the little viruses led away in shackles.

mosquitoes are attracted to body funk. Wash yo' feet and they leave you be :)
 
All these creeps pretending to be into archery are really just wannabe murderers making excuses to own dangerous weapons. Imagine the killing and maiming someone with a modern bow and a pack of arrows could do in a crowded movie theater. Why we allow people to own these dangerous weapons is a mystery to me. Bow and arrow control NOW!

Screw bows and arrows think about how many people can walk into a grocery store, department store, chef/restaurant supply store or even a big box store and walk out with a big sharp kitchen knife without even showing an ID.Think about how many people a psychopath could kill in a crowded theater and worse of all this weapon doesn't require reloading,so that psychopath could just keep stabbing and slicing people left and right until he basically just tires out.
