In fact, I can't help but notice that the decline in social mores coincides with the increase in hunter amenities. Coincidence?

Oh yeah you want to tell a woman who has a violent ex boyfriend stalking her to use a long bow like a real man if she wants to defend herself? You want to tell an elderly person or handicapped person what weapons you feel they don't need to protect themselves?

No but she could use some form of tranquilser weapon the longbow reference is out of context as it was a reference to hunting not home intrusion.
