Assailant with bow and arrows kills 5
people in Norway

The answer of course is bow-and-arrow control, maybe higher prices on the arrows.

The only problem, #1, is that controlling bows and arrows would discriminate against indigenous peoples, something libtards won't be willing to do.

If you practice enough there isn't anything that can't be a deadly weapon☠

He/She/It/They were just celebrating Indigenous Peoples day... instituted to call out and punish whyyyyte folks for their Lives and Histories. If YOU don't think this is a proper way to celebrate Indigenous People? Clearly YOU don't under stand their History and their Culture.

Five hundred years ago, the most effective distance weapon was a bow and arrows. While they have been technologically surpassed, they remain just as effective as ever. Actually, they have also benefited from technological advances, and are substantially more effective and deadly than when hundreds of British longbowmen slaughtered French armored knights at Agincourt in 1415. And they are nearly silent, too. Bad people will figure out a way to harm people, it is a certainty. The only solution is for good people to be armed for their self defense. But, self defense is essentially illegal in Norway. Example: An attacker tells a man that he is going to kill him. The would be victim locks the door to his home, and the attacker breaks in with an axe. The victim retreats to another room, locks that door. As the attacker starts to break that down, the victim fires a shotgun through the door. Shotgunner convicted of murder. So, self-defense, even inside your home is essentially illegal. And carrying a gun for self-defense is strictly illegal.

Crossbows are fun, too.

Re #5. Agincourt. King Henry had his men with the longbows. The French had crossbows for a practical reason...the smaller French couldn’t pull a longbow while those broad shouldered Englishmen had no problem. They were issued 48 arrows per man and could put 12 in the air in less than a minute. The French knights sat on their mounts before the battle since the field was muddy and they didn’t want their armor soiled. That didn’t help as far as stamina was concerned. Picture clouds of lethal arrows raining down on the French. Their knights had to lower their visors and hold their heads down lest they catch one in an eye. Quite and slaughter and gave birth to one of Shakespeare’s greatest passages in Henry V when he inspired his troops before the battle.

All good points, #7. Another crucial difference was that it took years of training in technique and for strength to "bend" a longbow, rather than "pull" it. So, English lords had to trust their commoners to own a weapon capable of killing an armored knight....which changed the relationship between the English archers and the English royals forever. The French didn't trust their peasants, handed out crossbows to minimally trained men, slow and less range, but anyone could do it. And the crossbows were collected after a battle. Skeletons of British archers showed asymmetric bone development from years of bending a 100 lb plus longbow. Original accounts of bow weights were considered, until the last few decades, to be bluster and exaggeration since "nobody can pull a 100 lb bow". Then hundreds of bows were recovered from the wreck of Mary Rose, and although water deteriorated, they could be duplicated with new yew wood....and the pulls ranged from 90-130 lbs when sized like the recovered original military longbows. Close re-reading of old texts discovered "you must learn to properly bend a warbow"....and eventually a whole-body method was rediscovered to "bend" the longbow. But, still, an archer must regularly practice, and thus the large number of archery tournaments in England, with prizes for the longest and most accurate arrows, to keep the archers 'in tune' for war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9d9kgQOJO0
