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.

@Grey_Wulfe Ай бұрын

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.

@Cavouku Ай бұрын

@@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 am an experienced "club level" field crossbow archer who has also trained people in the safe use of crossbows. Attempts / lobbying the Gov about "licencing" and "banning" crossbows has been going on for as long as I can remember, but this current "review" is by far the most concerning as I get the impression the Gov have already decided to impose restrictions, and they are simply testing the population to see how Draconian the restrictions can be without significant push back. It never ceases to amaze me how many anti crossbow types there are, often spouting nonsense such as "there is no use for a crossbow in the UK", or that "crossbows should be banned", whilst bring clueless of the massive crossbow use by club archers and recreational shooters in the UK. I shoot a crossbow in the woods at 3D foam animal targets (it's called "Field Archery"). It is one of the fastest growing types of crossbow shooting in the UK, something I point out at every opportunity. Crossbow field archery is therefore a recognised national sport, with The National Field Archery Society being the greatest supporter of crossbow field archery. I would like to know if the National Field Archery Society has been consulted by the Gov, or even asked to submit a positional statement. I doubt it. I will write to them and ask. As with other shooting sports it is the law abiding and often highly disciplined club shooter / recreational shooter that is punished and made to suffer with the legal imposition of often ill conceived or Draconian restrictions. Going after the low hanging fruit for political purposes only seems to be a sport in itself, but one that only Gov can play). PS, Thanks for making this video, as a crossbow archer, who would like to continue being a crossbow archer, I am grateful to you.

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.
