that bosnian sniper: How the fark do you commit suicide with a bow and arrow?

If it was a crossbow, very easily I would imagine.

If there were fewer firearm restrictions on college campuses this wouldn't have happened.

Hometown pride. Glad we did our school shooting with style!

/I miss Hell's Half Acre.

The suspect, who used a "sharp edged weapon," died a suicide according to the cops.

Sounds as if the reports of a bow and arrow are somewhat exaggerated. Maybe they meant bowie knife.  Or an Arkansas toothpick.

See, we shouldn't allow bows that have pistol grips. We knew this would happen!

Really? There's an academic study on this? Really? GG easy funding.

You mean a "Sherwood Forest Gat"?

The citizens of Wyoming have firearms coming out our collective ass. He probably didn't want this to get the "typical antigun reaction from the liberal democrats", so grabbed a crossbow and killed his old lady and the dude that was plowing her.

/90 miles north of Casper
//know a guy in Casper with a crossbow
///crossing fingers it was him
////not holding breath: he is a terrible shot.
////because why not

Thank God. You had us worried you might show up here.

So, about broadheads...

Yep, 'Detective is an idiot'. NEXT!

Well, if the arrow wasn't at the scene, it could have easily been a case of, "well... it doesn't look like a gunshot, but something went in there." Blunt weapons don't generally leave holes and all.

Puh-lease! It's called a "Scabbard"!

Guess it was his final " Pluck Yew "

The Constitution says nothing about allowing people to have sharp edged objects.

Time to ban them to make the liberals happy.

0/10 too obvious and there are already a few trolls in before you.

Alrighty, since I seem to be the only liberal not yet out at the bars, I'll bite.

What's your damned solution, if it annoys you so very much that we keep trying to reduce the number of people that get shot?

When they come for your guns,
give them your ammo first.

iheartscotch: Kazan: oh you poor poor oppressed second amendment worshipper.. let me count how many national restrictions on guns, reasonable or otherwise, have been passed since 2000


zero, add zero, carry zero.. times 5 for your panic factor. that comes to zero.

Not for lack of trying!

Just one example: there have been at least 4 attempts to ban 5.7 x 28 ammo since 2004 because it is "armor piercing".

What they fail to realize is, most hunting rounds, especially steel core, are definitely armor piercing. No need of quotations.

Don't give them any hints.
If they ever cared about the statisticals, they'd have already seen the assault weapon, machine gun, and ammunition bans were a joke. Rifles cause negligible amounts of harm every year and assault rifles are a tiny subset of those.
What the Democrats wanted was the appearance of looking busy on the fight against crime.

/and if I recall, part of that effort was an import ban on conversion kits that went into effect during the Bush administration.
/Which meant one more law after 2000, on top of thousands of existing laws.
/and most recently the attempt at a magazine ban.
/Its silly to pretend the firearms industry isn't stupidly over regulated.
/Worse to use the lack of legislation as proof that the Democrats have changed their stripes.
/Proof will be when they start to repeal a large chunk of those laws enacted over the years.
/Another FOPA, this time without the parliamentarian nonsense.

Just watched Let's talk about Kevin and is not getting a kick

It must have been an ice arrow!

FTFY Let's talk about Kevin is the movie

Dammit, Katniss! You can only pull this crap so many times before you lose the right to play the PTSD card!

'Two and a Half Men' ?

/ cause that show sucks balls and could make a person use an edged weapon.

Also submitted before with better headline:

Not one to bow out of college massacres, Wyoming college arrows in on three dead

Hey! Mentally disoriented != PTSD.

/ also, the chick that they got for the movie is hot

Farking terrible and surreal, no matter which state from which you hail.

fusillade762: phrawgh: Did someone mention Agincourt?

Don't mention the war.

I mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it all right.

xander450: Alrighty, since I seem to be the only liberal not yet out at the bars, I'll bite.

What's your damned solution, if it annoys you so very much that we keep trying to reduce the number of people that get shot?

I think we've covered this ad nauseum but one more time:

- improve NICS system
- introduce earlier and better mental health screenings.
- introduce better systems for reporting troubled people and getting them help.
- introduce measures to help combat poverty and urban decay.
- stop the war on drugs and legalize

That being said, crime rates are at a 40 year low, and continue to decline. Violent crime as a whole continues to drop. Number of victims of gunshots continue to be far smaller than the number of people killed by pools, cars, or other objects.

Frankly, guns are a tool of convenience, much like a power nailer. People will still stab, poison, bludgeon, run over, or find other ways of killing each other. You can continue to nerf the world until everyone is sealed in a neat little vacuum packed container, hermetically sealed and kept away from all possible sources of harm. People will still die.

Until you cure mankind of all his ills and evils, it won't stop people from behaving poorly and sometimes killing his fellow man.

So, you go figure out how to stop people from being evil and leave me the hell alone, since none of my guns, Including a couple of assault rifles and a few legal fully automatic machine guns, have ever killed or hurt anyone.

that bosnian sniper: How the fark do you commit suicide with a bow and arrow?

Shoot straight up!

If you have to choose between bullet or arrow to be shot with; you pretty much have to choose bullet, right? Both would really suck, but I think getting hit with an arrow would suck the most.

Can anyone confirm or deny?

Some of the spikes in crime came from apparent reasons. Urbanization and prohibition are two big ones. We can do much better without demanding perfection, but it means looking at the actual sources of trouble.
To that end, who owns what was never the problem. That's why it seems like a mystery when gun ownership doesn't correlate with crime, because there is no real connection.

If the BATFE was shut down tomorrow it wouldn't be noticed as much as if, say, all programs against domestic violence were cancelled.
But the latter are put on the chopping block more often.
Because we don't read our statistics fairly, we overlook many solutions.

iq_in_binary: I give it a day before they try to blame it on a certain TV show.

I just started reading the thread but I assumed the incident was inspired by the book/movie "We need to talk about Kevin."

So, some crazy asshole shot some people with a crossbow, and now we have to draw some kind of conclusion from it?
I can't.
I wonder why anybody thinks they can.

Casper Wyoming is Dick Cheneys' hometown. If you ever driven through there, as I have a few times, you would understand why you might want to shoot someone if you live there. It's a long, long way, from anything. Some areas are quite beautiful but It's difficult to understand how utterly barren and empty that place is without driving through it yourself. It's right up there with Alaska with alcoholism and suicide.

jso2897: So, some crazy asshole shot some people with a crossbow, and now we have to draw some kind of conclusion from it?

We seem to draw conclusions from every other damned incident with crazy rampage killers.

Seriously...feck Wyoming. Feck it right in the ear.
