First time poster, long term reader!
So I've been following the horrific news today about the monster who killed his ex partner, her sister and mother yesterday in Enfield (London).
Louise Hunt- (25) Hannah Hunt- (28) Carol Hunt- (61)
Reports state that he used a crossbow and other weapons (mainly knives) apparently he killed them in quick succession all at once at their home yesterday.
It shocks me how someone can obtain a weapon like a crossbow that fires arrows rapidly with immense force that can easily break through bone and kill. It's literally a gun, it loads and fires to kill if that's your intention.
Does anyone think these kind of weapons should be banned? What purpose do they serve? If it does serve a purpose then at least install a licence to own one where they can do background checks and interview the person for their reasons to owning one.
Alas! Another woman who wanted to be independent was brutally murdered along other her sister and mother for it.
Just a quick edit: killings with crossbows have happened before in the UK
In 2010, 40-year-old Stephen Griffiths killed 3 women in Bradford that he didn't know. He later admitted he was obsessed with killers and had a hatred for women. All 3 women were complete strangers to him.
