For the "Bows are legal, so guns should be too" stuff:

#1 With one pull of a trigger and a pointed gun you can kill someone. With a bow just a small gust of wind can prevent you from making a kill, or even a hit. It is FAR easier to kill someone with a gun.

#2 It's easier to walk around with a concealed gun than it is to walk around with a concealed bow, even when dismantled it fills quite a bit.

#3 Bows are used almost exclusively for sport and I have yet to hear of anyone killing anyone else with a bow and arrow. Killings with guns, on the other hand, we hear about almost every day.

And Taliesin, sorry if my comment seems haughty or insulting, but that's just my view of the world, I've mostly encountered uncivilized, crude and foolish people so far. It would please me a LOT to be proven wrong, and of course it differs from society to society. IW, a small society in it's own right, is certainly not suffering from a majority of idiots and a minority of clever people.
