Thanks for clearing this up. I suspected something like that, but misunderstood your point. I think our opinions on the matters are very similar.
Your argument isn't about how bows can be used for self defense but about how owning a handgun means you have a very convenient self defense weapon, now I can see that. Anybody claiming that they would only use their gun for sports marksmanship and/or hunting is ignoring how impossible it would be to resist temptation and leave the gun in the holster in a threatening situation.
Oh, and you and I have been on Slashdot long enough to know that it isn't moderators, but just one skimmer with mod points can ruin your day, especially when guns, politics or religion is invilved. Don't let it get to you, dude.
