PS South Aust does not have a convict heritage.

But unfortunately our government also picked up the same mentality.

This attempt at banning cross bows and compounds is really ridiculous. As they have never been regulated who on earth is going to hand them in if they get banned? And as has been pointed out, how are they going to distinguish between hunting bows and competition bows? I tell you mine will get a flat green coat of paint with some nice stickers pretty quickly.

Again a total lack of any justification. One kid was hurt or killed! How many kids are hurt or killed on bicycles a year?

And what other use would these things be put too? Bank robbers? Maybe mass murder by cross-bow.

Perhaps they are just looking ahead. Maybe when all firearms are gone they are worried about a popular uprising a la Robin Hood.
