Wasn't there a strange crossbow death in the UK a couple of years ago, in a more self-defense related capacity?
We don' need no stinkin' guns - give us crossbows!
next thing you know, they're going to be comparing statistics on crossbow-violence against the automobile death rates, and then there will come the calls for crossbow-control ("common sense" crossbow-control, of course!).
Then there will be crossbow registration...
... and eventual crossbow confiscation, or "buy back" schemes (as if the government ever owned the crossbows in question to begin with!)...
What's next? Spears? Swords (Ireland already has a jump on that one, I hear)? Ink pens? I can kill a crap ton of folks with an ink pen, you know!
Where did my world get off to?

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
