Story says "Bow and Arrow" but headline "Crossbow"

Either way, surely it's no different to carrying a gun?

How is it seemingly so easy to get hold of these considering how lethal they are?

Because they aren’t illegal as far as I’m aware. Needs changing

I'm sure it was said when something happened the other week it's not actually illegal.

You can buy a crossbow if you are over 18 and then the laws seem to be about where you "fire it".

A lot of it does seem to be about age, A quick google and looks like I could buy one online easily if I show them my ID to prove my age.
