>A two year-old girl has been shot in the head with a crossbow bolt at a house in Liverpool.
>The child was hurt at a home on Oakhouse Park in the Walton area of the city on Tuesday afternoon when a "crossbow was discharged", police said.
>The weapon involved has been seized and was being forensically examined, but no arrests have been made.
>The girl remains in hospital with a serious head injury, Merseyside Police added.
>Det Insp Sabi Kaur said: "I am sure the community in Walton will share our shock and distress at the fact a child could have been hurt in this way.
>"Our inquiries are at a very early stage and we are still trying to establish the full facts, but we know it was an isolated incident."
>"This incident shows the obvious dangers posed by firearms stored in Merseyside."
How many more children are going to get shot dead by these medieval assault weapons? What an absolute fucking disgrace. Hopefully the government will issue a blanket ban on ALL recurve projectile weapons.
Import me, I'm going to kill them for you, I'm a 3rd world savage myself

I really think their ought to be a weapons class in school or that dads need to start teaching their sons. Nobody seems to understand anything about weaponry anymore.

Modern cross bows are dangerous as hell... I never understood how they slipped through the cracks. I had one a few years back and it would blow through whatever target you shot it at. Shotguns seem tame in comparison

I hope this isn’t a staged event to start confiscating them. They want to allow mayhem in the streets, make it clear the police and courts won’t do shit, and take away all weapons
Gavin Cruz
I'd rather get hit with a crossbow than get fucking shot by a high caliber assault gun like americans

>Cranberry juice My sides Is this what Britanons do?
The pistol ones at 80lbs that are most common aren’t exactly harmless but aren’t that lethal either. You can get some ridiculously powerful hunting xbows though. I’m not sure how they are legal either. Banned in a lot of less strict European countries and bow hunting isn’t even legal here. So should have bought one at the gun show a few months back.

nah you just need a loicence m8

80# will go through both sides of an oil drum, never shot one at a car but I'd be surprised if it didn't clear the door/trim.

It's always fear on this isle. Thankfully they are pretty pricey, so there is that barrier already. Though if stories start coming out of London of the Africans engaging in crossbow fire, then there would be a crackdown. Luckily in this story, the child is currently living with a sore head too.

I went over to the UK once to visit my brother and his wifes family The wife’s brother had a crossbow and was showing it to me After he put a bolt in it, he tilted it around and it just fired when it was pointing upwards towards the sky I always imagined something like this happened when it landed
Interesting. I did not know that. So is like a nice sling-shot/wrist-rocket a firearm than? They are fun and can fuck people up no doubt :)

Pepper spray is classed as a firearm here

fire = ignition of gunpowder.
Ian Richardson
when I was in the gun shop recently they had slingshots labelled as “bait throwers” and the 30 cal pellets were ball bearings even though it said 30 cal bird killer or some shit on the packet
Didn't you guys have a serial killer who used a crossbow years back?

overrated as fuck
Christopher James
The so-called crossbow cannibal? He was a loser, and not deserving of the title he made himself. There's no evidence he ate anything from his victims. He was just a dumb chav trying to be edgy.
Ayden Howard
looks like Paki slums. Go back to your own fucking country
Can’t comment on the area but all of Liverpool vote labour and it’s one of, if not the, whitest major city in England.

I wanted to call you a dumb ass at first, but it's just a translation quirk.
The crossbow is, for technical purposes, often categorized as a firearm by various legal jurisdictions, despite the fact that no combustion is required to propel the projectile. ... Crossbows are not considered firearms in the United States.

Oh no, THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Ban assault crossbows NOW!
