    Tragic! It seems strange he would use a bow and arrow. Is this a reappearance of terrorism:

    it's because bows and arrows are too easy to get! you can walk in the store and buy them all you want, and carry them around! more bows/arrows, more bows/arrow violence!/s

    Apparently some people think the police didn't respond fast enough:

    This could arguably be considered a mass shooting.

    No description of the suspect so far, and police are claiming they have "no idea of the motive".

    Likely terrorism. There are a huge number of refugees from the Middle East around Oslo now. (The city where this happened is only 80 km (50 miles) away from Oslo)

    There have been a few similar "mass stabbing" incidents in the neighboring country of Sweden.

    I read a news source that said he was previously on a watch list and that he was a muslim convert.

    I think this attack is a direct result of the FX series Vikings..

    That’s proof positive people don’t really need guns for protection.

    Nope. That’s more reason to ban firearms. Bows seem just as effective. Gotta luv it if you’re a bow nut.....
    Real men and women hunt with bows.

    I think “shooting” applies to fire arms. Maybe mass killing ?

    "Archery is the sport, practice, or skill of using a bow to shoot arrows."

    They already did for the most part. Didn't stop mass murder.

    Using a bow for mass murder is a reason to ban firearms?

    ...are you drinking?

    It is not about "needing" guns. You don't "need" to vote either. But voting and gun ownership are our RIGHT as established by the Constitution.

    Looks like bow and arrow will be banned now

    I don’t think shooting bows affects the use of cars. Never hunted deer with a car. But you’re welcome to make it up. It’s a free world.

    No need for silences. Blow guns eliminate that need.

    I can't nail a target at 700 meters with a blow gun.

    according to you "Nope. That’s more reason to ban firearms. Bows seem just as effective. Gotta luv it if you’re a bow nut.....
    Real men and women hunt with bows" if another item can replace for instance, a gun, then you don't need the gun. hence, we have feet and don't need cars to get places according to your logic.

    doesn't matter. banning things doesn't work and we have a document that covers this. bows not included.
