There's nothing wrong with shooting as a sport. But walking around with a gun is different. And there is a difference between walking around with a gun and with a bow. You can see the bow, and you can't see the gun...
[/QUOTE]I don't see a kid with a bow killing 18 students, but thats just me.
[/QUOTE]This is limited to the hypothetical plane. Kids have killed other kids with knives and baseball bats before. Should nobody be allowed to own a knife? Should baseball be banned?
