416SW is right. I think a kid took a crossbow to school and shot another kid with one from memory.

So next thing we have these idiot police ministers all jumping up and down for a ban. These sorts of idiots are ban-happy.
They are ban happy - bullbars, fireworks, big dogs, pistols, cross-bows, compound bows, certain types of knives (yes a bayonet is more "deadly" than a kitchen carving knife

) semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, pump action shotguns, large calibre pistols, long dog leashes (yep in South Aust they banned leashes longer than 2 metres last year

), - the list could go on and on if I cared to try to remember.

People without ideas on how to truly "fix" things, especially that don't actually need fixing.

More likely public servants and politicians on a oppressive contol spree.
