You're kidding right? You can Google videos of people in Africa still shooting at each other with bowes. Machetes are still used by numerous armed forces across the globe, every military carries knives and bayonets still. Couldn't tell last slingshot use except maybe Rome. Come on my guy really 😂

Bows in Africa? Ahaha good one.
Do they also run around in loin clothes hollering? 😂
They carry knifes because of the multiple use, not to stab the enemy, that's why they have guns.
None of the weapons you mentioned has an equal bodycount to a mass shooting.
That wasn't the point they are all weapons of war was the point. VBIEDs most certainly rack up a large body count, so do chemicals etc.
I get it we won't agree on this and that's okay. I agree with you on about 90% of the other things you mention on here.
Body count of bows and arrows 😂😂
I saw this video on YouTube where one tribe was fighting another tribe (these were islanders if I recall)
And they basically spent the day chasing and intimatading each other for territory, then one person got shot in the ass with a barbed arrow head and the whole thing was called off.
Dogs are weapons of war, by your thesis.
Guns have one explicit purpose, and that's to kill.
When a 16 year old was found last weekend with a cache of guns that he bought, and was ready to mass shoot his school, that's not comparable to anything.
But it's a societal and cultural thing too. IEDs in schools could also happen like the Butler assassination attempt also had 'a truck filled with explosives in the parking lot'
So it's more a violent society rather than what weapon is used to carry out that endeavour.
Actually good point German shepherds, malinois, hell even pit bulls have been used
Good point about the societal differences too
Americans are rabid wild animals. Period
