Quote:The bow isn't much different, so why not ban the bow?
Takes a great deal of training to kill with a bow. Guns? Not so much.
Ever wonder why European armies went to firearms as opposed to bows? It was because it took a long time to properly train an archer whereas any rube off the farm could be taught to load and fire a musket in a couple of weeks.
And I agree with Gawd. Guns may not be the weapon of "cowards" per se but they certainly level the playing field in favor of the 98 pound weakling.
