BOW AND ARROW

The UK is currently trying to ban crossbows after someone got shot with one a couple months ago, so if the democrats start going down the same path as "anything that's a weapon must be bad" then yes.

>in a universe where guns are banned...
bullet guns or laser weapons or both?

Aren't crossbows and compound bows banned in Scandinavia altogether?

Here in commie rushka they are limited by draw weight. Everything draw weight below 60lbs isn't considered a weapon and can be bought by a 10 y.o. but everything above it is banned completely and no amount of loicenses will allow you to have it.

You can, however, buy separate limbs with as much draw weight as theoretically possible and it's not a crime, as long as long as you never get caught attaching them to a handle/crossbow body.

Well fuck I'm moving to Texas. And when asked why I'm armed with a sword I will scream gloriously with dick fully engorged BECAUSE I CAN

>auniverse.

Unironically great bantz. I'm waiting for a pollie to catch on that a release aid is a trigger, thus restricting compound bows under the same legislation as crossbows.

Unfortunately weeb vigilante drowned

>Everything draw weight below 60lbs isn't considered a weapon
didnt know there were limitations

what how he couldnt swin ?

I mean honestly, everyone SHOULD be carrying a blade at all times.

I'm unironically I'm favor of bringing back duels in civil disputes.

banned in the uk nigger

what bow and arrow ? doubt it

He's not joking.
It genuinely is.
I bought a book about bow making and a Mora knife for whittling and actually had a neighbour report me to the cops and they confiscated the half-finished shitty bow I made. lol

In Texas it is legal to have a duel with your fists.

I don't understand you duel fags. We can already duel. We can challenge anyone to a round in the boxing ring or to an athletic competition or even a game of fucking chess for the purpose of settling a personal dispute. We say duels are banned but it's an over-simplification and it's essentially false. Being unsafe is banned.

That's not what a duel is you wanker. A Duel is weapon combat between two people, not a fucking chess match. That word has a meaning look it up.

>ban guns
>ban crossbows
>ban bow and arrows

That being said, a well placed arrow is just as deadly as it was 1000 years ago, they can be made out of a bird and a tree, (and animal entrails if you wanna get high tech with the cord), a skilled bowman can shoot accurately out to over 100 yards, there would be absolutely zero way to trace that arrow unless you had diddled your asshole with it prior to firing it, and anyone hit by an arrow is going to have no more fun of a time surviving than 1000 years ago.

You can not ban anything that can be made. The most you can do is make them more difficult to acquire, but if you do that you will only ensure that when they are used they are used to drive a point home, not merely rob/kill some random.

A lot of knife attacks happen in China and in England. At least if you get shot it might happen so quickly that it won't hurt and will be over with quick.

>I always have this feeling that ti isnt about guns its about not having civilians armed at all
of course that is the case. You can not have socialism with an armed populace, it just doesnt work. The crux of their ideology is that it MUST be possible to forcefully reeducate or purge problematic portions of the population, without that ability there can be no "leftist utopia", neither of which can happen with an armed populace.

>actually had a neighbour report me
what a faggot, wait really you guys cant have bows ?! wow

youtu.be/Db8rdugIvBw
yeap it pretty much goes thru anything

>Would dems try to ban bow and arrow if people started using them?
Yes they would and they already have.

Is it common for neighbors to report on one another in your country?

No. A duel is a combat between two people with agreed rules. If you want to specifically talk about a duel to the death with weapons, call it a duel to the death with weapons, then people will know exactly which variant of duel you're talking about. Only the unsafe variant illegal. Not because competition is bad, but because things which are unsafe are bad. You can do any competition you want, you can attempt to settle any of your personal disputes with a boxing match or fencing match, but you don't do that, don't you? None of you retards actually do that. You don't already settle your disputes with personal competitions but for some reason you insist it should be done and you insist it should be unsafe. You just want to be a contrarian. Literally no argument.

>unsafe is bad
>flag
why are canadians such pussies?

It's not about the GUN, it's about the CONTROL.

So yes, no weapons unless you're in the service of the elite.

>probably more damaging that a 9mm

A broad head is completely devestating compared to a 9mm. You have cut flesh plus a wound cavity plus if it doesn’t exit, you have to push it out to avoid doing more damage pulling it the way you came. Honestly, shoot me with a gun. Don’t use a bow or a knife or anything weird with blades

Europe allows you to defend yourself?

Bows are far more damaging than a bullet. Bullets kill. Bows mortally wound. Esp. if you do what viets/injuns did and coat your arrows with shit/rotting meat.

If people have a dispute that makes them agree to a fight to the death, why can’t you just settle it? If anything, pass laws saying only the compatants are responsible for the healthcare, so insurance premiums don’t increase for the rest of us

I have no idea what's going on in this thread but archery threads always deserve a bump.
>Cheap
>Easy to learn
>valuable skill. If you ever need food in the post-apocalypse, a bow and arrow/crossbow is your best option. No noise (no attraction,) no worries about ammo, can take down massive game with the proper skills and broadheads.
>If you are a survivalist, having an alternative to wasting ammo is a huge plus.
You can get a decent recurve bow for less than 200$. Stock up on broadheads and ammo. Cheapshot ammo exist, plastic broadheads that are extremely sharp and only cost 1$ each. I have a 50 pack, apparently people have taken down bison with them.
Compound bows are nice but in a survival situation it's best to have a spare recurve bow because compound bows require a bench to repair.

Life is inherently unsafe. You can die from an infinite number of things every second of everyday. You can not eliminate risk and nothing is truly safe. You can have an aneurism playing chess in your safe space and die.

Pic related my favorite broadhead.
They are heavy, but in a compound or crossbow they can easily take down a moose in one shot.
Watch this video. One shot with this broadhead bleeds out a giant bull moose.

A bench can easily be substituted with a racket strap or a rope with a truckers hitch or a couple strong buddies. I constantly make adjustments to compound bows using a slightly modified ratchet strap

but what if you're alone in the forests of Alaska and your string breaks? How are you going to fix that on the fly in a survival situation?

Yes many curtain twitchers are just dying do get us thrown in the gulags

Pic-related was a rapid-fire (albeit low-powered) weapon that can be built with materials that are effectively impossible to outlaw.
Adding levers, gears, and an electric motor might jazz it up a bit.

Nope. You can create far more dangerous explosives and traps that can defeat a more powerful enemy using common house hold items and chemistry, electronics know how and guerilla tactics.

If I had to survive with my compound, I would just keep some cord in my bag that could be used with a truckers hitch to bend the limps and replace the string. Also don’t see myself going that far north

at one time they tried banning Bows, sticks, and swords across Europe.

I'm not joking about the sticks. they really did, they called it a quarter staff but they really just used any sturdy stick that was "long enough."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarterstaff

fuck you, loser goes to the shadow realm

Oi mate, you got a licence for that crossbow?

Nigger they're trying to ban knives and pointy objects in bongland, of course they'd ban bows.

It's legal in in Louisiana too. As well as shurikens, throwing knives, etc.

That's interesting. When I was reading a history of archery one of the things they talk about was that 60lbs was considered powerful enough to kill any animals however to kill a human the bow should be at least 80lbs. I wonder if the law is based off of that.
