You guys that say a xbow is a rifle are just crazy to put it mildly. They are a crossbow. Not a gun. Stop making yourself look foolish. A gun shoots a bullet or shell with the use of gun powder.

If you were standing in the woods and you get shot in the back and an arrow and broadhead are sticking out of your stomach what would you think....?? Would you think I was shot with a gun?

They are three different weapons with the xbow and bow having very close ties.

There are locking devices that keep a bow at full draw until you want to shoot them also....are they now a gun too??

Its a college in central Ky close to where I grew up. I was just giving kybuck some options.

I agree, its not a rifle. A rifle has rifling. As opposed to a musket like the brown bess that didn't. But it is a gun. Has a gunstock, has a gun trigger and sear. Even uses gun scopes and lasers.

So from your reasoning, you really believe a watergun uses gunpowder and puts out bullets??????

You really believe a caulk gun uses gunpowder and bullets?????

You really believe a heatgun uses gunpowder and bullets????

You really believe a gluegun uses gunpowder and bullets????? If someone took a hot gluegun and smeared it on your eyes, would you think you got shot with a bullet?????

I reload alot of ammunition and keep 20-25lbs of smokeless powder on hand at all times, but I never use it for my jerkygun.

Just going off your logic. You might look foolish if you believe that.

Guys, we can't forget the nailgun, the stungun, paintgun, frostinggun, sausagegun, dewalt sraygun, dewalt screwgun, the potato gun, blowgun, greasegun.

Remembered some more, the staplegun.

Folks what do all these have in common??? inquiring minds needs to know.

I actually knew that BC. I was just trying to make a joke. Obviously I wasn't successful.

Incidentally, while I personally have no problems with crossbows being allowed, I can honestly say that I do understand some of the concerns that others have about them being allowed. I believe they are wrong, but I understand why they feel that way.

Nah, it gave me a chuckle. I am practicing that dry humor comedy routine.

You really oughtta try that sometime and post the video on YouTube.

See, now that was funny. Man, I was drinkin coffee. You can't do that!!!! I need to change my shirt now.

A trigger.

My release for my compound bow has a trigger too...what does that make it?

Nope, but your getting hotter.
