Why More Americans Want to Own Guns

[Gawdzilla]

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.

Yep, and the "Lady's Special .32 cal. five shot revolver" struck more that one blow for equal rights.
