An Inclusive Litany
5/22/03
Following an attack that left two girls injured, John Watkins, Police
Minister of New South Wales, Australia, called for a national ban on
crossbows. "Crossbows are killing machines—nothing else," said
Watkins. "Trafficking in these weapons is as deadly as drugs or
guns." Crossbows are already banned in New South Wales. Australia
also bans many types of firearm, with strict gun registration and
licensure laws.
