Too many cases of injury and even death of humans and animals are caused by air rifles, BB guns and crossbows. Nobody needs these weapons and we will be fine without them. Now a young boy has been shot in the head and seriously injured. Last year a man was murdered by a crossbow. Enough is enough.

Of course these are just the serious cases. There are many others which are probably not reported in the media, and it is not just humans. Animals, and particularly pet cats are being targeted by sadistic individuals who get pleasure out of harming others. Often such psychopaths move on to humans after a while.

We need to ask ourselves if these types of arms, which can kill at a distance, are really necessary in 2020.
