Crossbow violence... 'Magine that... no gun available, so a crossbow go violent.  They have apparently by now, hunted down that evil bow, and have detained it ! Oh, by the way..there was a person 0f interest involved in this crossbow's intentional mayhem..  Have you ever had to deal with a violent,  uncontrollable crossbow ?

Gun violence, knife violence, crossbow violence, all have a common denominator; violence. Violence perpetrated by someone. Someone with a mind to commit a violent act. Quite simple really. Those minds are the source.

I never have used Gun violence when talking about a crime where a firearm was used. A gun has no capability of creating any violence whatsoever. The same with linking any other inanimate object with the word violence. The media and our government love to use the term Gun Violence, because they can then trick ignorant people into placing blame on the gun.

  ^^^TRUTH^^  Their aim is to confuse...and some simple minds are easily confused.  As a kid, I can recall a neighbor farmer who kept a loaded .22
   rifle in his barn..so he could make short work of woodchucks and other critters.  When I knew him, he claimed he had kept it there for 30 years by that time..just sitting back there by his grain bin..

 That old .22 never shot anything that farmer didn't want shot !
