    Wow. "Stockpiled an arsenal".
    ...they found ammunition, a ballistic vest, a high-powered crossbow with arrows and a container used to load clips -- all of which Sun could have purchased online.

    Crossbow crime is just rampant, especially the "high-powered" ones. And what the hell is a "container used to load clips" and why was that so frightening?

    And technically crossbows take bolts... maybe the crossbow identifies itself as a nuke?

    I got that when I read it too, but really, the media and the masses that buy their drivel wouldn't understand. It was probably fortunate that they didn't call something in that arsenal an AR-15 by their ignorance.

    must've been one of the new air powered cross guns. Clips are scary to me but I've never had a problem with the "container used" to load them!!!
    Laws aren't "preventable" measures. IOW, more gun laws won't stop mass shootings.

    I understand the clips are loaded from a massive storage system called quiver. Some cross bows do have "clips" to hold spare bolts.

    Crossbows were once outlawed back in the day because the powers that be thought them too dangerous for the common man to possess and that the peasants would use them against the ruling class.

    History repeating itself again.
