Matt, you have to understand. Your government will never be happy if their subjects have even the smallest ability to defy their will. Long guns, handguns, swords, machetes, crossbows, longbows, slingshots, pocket knives. They want you docile and harmless, because all you are to them are sheep to be fleeced by the taxman.

Matt I know you are trying to keep your commentary non devisive and apolitical. I am a conservative and american and I am that way not because of politics but because of my values but in this case with crossbows I really think all of us can be on the same side! As you have said it makes 0 sense based on how few people are injured or killed for more regulation to make sense here. The government has a vested interest in its citizens being allowed to live out their lives in peace without interference.

As always. Instead of trying to address the root cause of an issue politicians like to turn to bans because it makes them look like they're doing something and because it's quicker and easier than really trying to solve whatever problem they're trying to address. Looking into the root cause and trying to address that doesn't look or sound as good, esp. during an election cycle and likely won't yield results until they're long out of office.

​@@narusawa74I'd say the general idea of background checking and registering firearms and other dangerous materials (e.g. pyrotechnic and explosives licensing) has reduced the misuse of them when compared to other countries with similar ownership rates. I'm imagining target shooting sportspeople are a pretty peaceful bunch, and I get that licensing/registering the arms of the vast majority is unnecessary, but it does deter impulsive misuse of something potentially lethal by a dangerous minority of owners. I'd say they should only be a form to say you have it, and a statement that you'll ensure secure storage and responsible use of the articles, but it shouldn't stop the vast majority from pursuing those sports.

I am reminded of something the great CS Lewis said, "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

​@@robinrehlinghaus1944If "being morally assertive" is the same as "enacting tyrannical oppression for the greater good of the people", then yes, that's more reprehensible than someone who's merely selfish. It's also much harder to combat, ideologically. This is a common theme in fiction. There's the old utilitarianist villain who believes in slaughtering hundreds to save thousands or millions. I was just watching Invincible yesterday, that's the reasoning that the Viltrumites claim to be employing for their galactic empire. There's I, Robot, where the AI tries to confine everyone to minimize their chance of injury or death. There's the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica, where turning young girls into sailor scouts and then gradually corrupting them to become monsters works as a unique sort of energy that staves of entropic forces that threaten the lives of lifeforms in deep space. Maybe you agree with all these positions, but to me and many others they're sinister in a way plain selfish greed and sadism doesn't quite match.

I have a lathe and a mill and 3D printers etc etc... So making something legal and yet deadly would be easy. Arrested well I would have been at the sports club but I was not going to buy a licence to practice my sport and with plenty of free time on my hands I thought why not make really nasty but legal weapons and sell them to villains... Not my fault they all did damage to each other.

In the linked consultation section 1.5: "Incidents involving crossbows are, fortunately, rare and the vast majority of those using crossbows do so safely and responsibly. There were fewer than 10 homicides by crossbow from 2011 to 2021 [...]" So only like 10 people have died to a crossbow in the last 14 years.

All they have to do is put you on a list because you dared question the government or its policies, and bam, no more purchases for you. Oh, you wish to challenge having your name on the list? Sorry, there is no legal process for you to have that removed.

Well … I’m about to grant our British allies a courtesy they deny us Americans ALL THE TIME … I’m going to let THEM sort this out, without any influence, support or criticism either way. Think about this moment next time you feel tempted to put your thumb on the scale over OUR 2nd Amendment issues!!!

Funniest thing is when I was young my Grandad taught me how to make a basic bow - which I did a few times with some quite nice ones once I got the hang of it. Unless they want to ban having a brick/stone and a piece of wood it won't matter. As for mass produced crossbows - you can make one far more powerful than most on sale very easily. You can get up with the pro stuff if you're happy to put a little effort in. It won't be as light or as pretty but it will still do just as good a job of throwing things at people.

I am a blacksmith and make many broad heads and bodkins for use with both crossbows and long bows, I also make broad head key rings (very popular) so It would appear I may be criminalised for carrying out a process that is hundreds of years old and got this country out of the pucky on more than one occasion.

Gov: "Should there be further controls around the sale and ownership of crossbows?" Normal People: "No! They are owned by a large number of people but used rarely in crime- statistics show that blunt objects and even dogs cause many more deaths than crossbows each year." Gov: "Great point- let me amend that last question... Should there be further controls around the sale and ownership of blunt objects, dogs, and crossbows?" 😑 When it comes to safety and protectionism, there is always a "next thing" on the list it seems. If the 1.7 or whatever deaths per year from crossbow crime require permitting and restrictions on ownership, then anything becomes fair game because the bar is never too low. The perceived risk by the public or government is always relative to the status quo- so there will never be a point where there isn't a next thing to worry about.

My brother was shot at by someone with a crossbow. He wasn't hit and managed to beat the assailant into submission and flee before the shooter could do anything useful with it. If the attacker had had a hammer or knife it could have been far worse. Signed

Archery has been a central part of human culture for thousands of years, crossbows are an integral part of our culture and history. They are NOT sold as or made as weapons - they are sporting goods - and like any sporting goods they can be abused and misused but that is no reason to control them. Next you’ll need a license for a hammer.

The worst part about British politics is that it's not even close to getting better. The fact that David Cameron is back in government after what he did is a self-parody. The funniest part was the argument that the UK needed someone respected internationally 😢

What about the danger of spare bicycle spokes. Toothbrushes can be extremely deadly as well. It just depends on who's holding it. I even heard jolly ranchers can be an assault weapon.

Responded. Quite a long and detailed response - like yourself, Matt, I have made crossbows, bows, arrows, broadheads, flint arrowheads etc. This legislation is purely to appease the tabloids and give the appearance of doing something by banning items used by a small percentage of the population, who will hopefully not kick up enough of a fuss to make any difference.

From the U.S. what odds should we give in Vegas that they won't pay any attention to your comments. Also making flint arrowheads (broadheads) isn't that hard with a bit of practice. So is the making of primitive (Medieval) crossbows.

We all know the reasons that they're going to bring this in. 1) they look like they're doing something to tackle crime by doing the most minimum effort action they can to win votes 2) by bringing in the licence they can rake in money from making people pay for licences just like they do with TV licences, just like they do with CSCS, and just like they do with SIA (for example the cscs was introduced in 95. The biggest drop in construction related deaths was 88-94. From 95 onwards they have remained largely level with only a small drop and a huge spike around 2000) This licences isn't going to change rates of deaths or accidents from crossbows it's just going to generate revenue for the government to put into their pockets. At this point we really need to storm the capital. There's a solidarity march on May 1st this year, for workers rights, we need to organise something similar. All show up in medieval get ups and protest
