Hmm, I guess Canada should consider adopting the wise counsel of the “Second Council of the Lateran” http://www.legionofmarytidewater.com/faith/ECUM10.HTM (http://www.legionofmarytidewater.com/faith/ECUM10.HTM)

29. We prohibit under anathema that murderous art of crossbowmen and archers, which is hateful to God, to be employed against Christians and Catholics from now on.

What kind of rule set is that?

Sickening story, by the way...forget that a medieval crossbow was used- this man killed his FATHER.  Here's the quote that stuck with me though: 

"It's shocking," said Troy Ross, 39, who lives across the street from the library and often takes his children there. "You don't think of a crossbow as something for killing people, just as something for recreation."

Really?  Really?

Another sickening story, this one is worse:  http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/30/AR2010113006755.html
