Ban Crossbows ?? how many people have been killed by cars in the past 10 years??

Outlaw crossbows? That’s laughable! So the crossbow worked on its own without a human?

It's not the crossbow's fault.

I’m an avid archer and I’m not a psychotic murderer. Be tougher on criminals! And not punish the rest of us. UK is a failing state

It wasn't the crossbow. It was a sad sack unable to control his emotions. MPs have armed security at taxpayers' expense. Yet I can't protect myself. MPs have created this society, and the rest of us suffer. My condolences to the family. But our society is soft on crime and criminals.

These reports are all about the crossbow, not the murders

'Ban crossbows' - Why? They don't load and fire themselves. Just like guns - it's the user that makes it dangerous.

If it wasn't a crossbow it would have been a knife, or a hammer ,or an axe, or a car, or a bat. Luckily it wasn't a desert spoon or we would be banning them.

Ban murdering

"Outlaw bread knives " outlaw lawnmowers " outlaw knitting needles"

This is an excuse to stop us defending ourselves

Typical overreaction. Bad people get hold of weapons no matter the law. Ridiculous to restrict the vast amount of good responsible people 😎

Funny she’s isn’t mentioning his religion or ethnicity.

Banning won’t make any difference when it simple engineering and can be easily made. We know what all this is about

Ex-soldier, really 🙄 Passing basic and then getting kicked out doesn't exactly warrant being a soldier in the British Army 🤦🏻‍♀️

He would’ve used something else if he didn’t have that…

I dont particularly like cross bows, had one as a child, BUT the biggest issue at the moment in UK is knife crime. Are we going to ban kitchen knives ? What about scissors ? Get a grip on banning everything. The police are currently walking around with devices that can stop your heart as a routine weapon and we see incidences where they abuse their use. Are we going to ban tasers ? We really should. AND there are quite a number of Police officers who should be banned. Most damage to society in general is done now by politicians, are we going to ban them ? They are taking us into World war 3 right now. Russia will defend itself.

One person does something so we should all be banned from owning or using something. I hate how people over react to these things and beg for more controls and restrictions on their lives. How happy we all seem to hand over our freedoms.

Ban fishing and horse riding hundreds more deaths in 10 years than a cross bow

Outlaw immigration...

Rejected stalkers are dangerous - he would have used any weapon even if crossbows were gone. This is about narcissistic entitlement, and how people need to learn to accept the perceived rejection.

How are criminals getting guns? They are against the law are they not ? Are you telling me criminals will still get access to something that is illegal?

Legalise guns for law abiding citizens so we can defend ourselves.

Guns, Crossbows, Kitchen Knives, Hammers, Spanners are all TOOLS- whether those tools are used inappropriately to cause crime, injury or death ARE THE FAULT OF THE PEOPLE WIELDING THEM! I believe Insulin was one of the items used by Lucy Letby (Correct me if i'm wrong) - do we blame the Insulin? Do we ban Insulin because it was used in unspeakable crimes (and damn anyone who is a diabetic?) No. What we should do is investigate and jail the culprits. (And the press for all these stupid sensationalist headlines) And most important of all - if we ban any dangerous tools or weapons - THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO COMMIT A CRIME- WILL STILL FIND A WAY TO GET A HOLD ON THEM! Guns are largely banned in the UK but why do we still have gun crime if all these bans are so good? Why do we have knife crime if its banned to carry them on the streets? Its all stupid in my opinion - if you ask me - protect yourselves, your family, your property at any and all costs.

The crossbow isn’t the issue. What difference does making that illegal make. Murder is illegal and he didn’t care about that. Also he could have used many other items as a lethal weapon.

if someone was beaten to death with a frying pan would we call for frying pans to be banned

Had he used a golf club would there be calls to ban them?

"I once saw John Wick kill 3 men with a pencil" Should we ban pencils too?

no don't outlaw crossbows.

talktv seems to be the torch holder for ban the crossbow movement

It's not a fucking crime of passion.! It's premeditated! After being in a domestic violent relationship for 23 years, I can categorically say there's no passion involved. Sick of hearing that term!😡 This poor family 🙏. The violence and the lead up to deaths of women getting out of these relationships needs far more money invested into how they can keep themselves safe. They need proper protection. God love em x

His brother was arrested for another murder & is serving life, nice family. So sad for the family, so sad.I had to move because of a stalker and now I have migrants running across my garden. We must secure our boundaries esp; since Labour got in with their feeble policies.

We’ve just had a handover of WEF/WHO control from Tories to Labour (see Russell Brand’s recent vid on Starmer). The Tories got crushed, unfortunately not as much as they deserve, because they consistently and wilfully, purposefully, failed and betrayed the British citizens; you only needed to read the comments on videos such as this to know the sentiments of the people who endorsed the Tory pledge to properly honour the mandate of the British to take back sovereignty and control the border. But have you learnt anything? A quick read of numerous comments in this comment section are again expressing very clearly a glaring problem; will they be blithely ignored?

It’s the people that use these that need outlawed!

Knives used as well. Don't ban knives though.

Have they blamed his race yet?

We should ban knives too, plastic knives only, sorry I mean wood as we do not want plastic waste, oh no what about the trees, ok let’s just eat with our hands!

This is so so sad. May he get highest punishment in law.

HUNTING DEER?? Zero research obviously, read the laws before the national broadcast , no hunting allowed with bows or crossbows, the simplest google result "" Hunting deer with a bow of any description in the UK is illegal. In fact, it has been illegal to hunt deer with a crossbow, compound bow or any bow whatsoever, whether in the wild or within private deer collections or park environment, since 1965."" ..or ask someone who has a clue...

If he used to be a plumber would you say ‘ex plumber? Bullshit headline!

If he is found guilty and there is actually a prison cell for him have the common sense not to have him guarded by sexually active attractive prison guards!!!!

God forbid he didn't use a brick, or a kitchen knife, or a pointed stick.

He and his brother don't look like a Clifford

Tools are not the problem. Its some of the tools that use those tools. You can ban axes, hammers, chain saws, iron bars, fence posts, knives even the proverbial vampire stakes if you wish. Its never gonna stop someone intent on murder, with picking up anything they can use as a weapon and using it to do harm with. Besides....hows those firearms bans working out for you ? All you did was guarantee that only criminals who dont abide by such laws are tooled up. Who subsequently go on to terrorise the neighbourhoods that you thought was a good idea to disarm, while also removing the police who you decided would be their only means of protection. Stupid is what stupid does as far as I am concerned. Would more people be alive if we had a US 2nd amendment ? Do you kill more people than you save by disarming them ?

Blame the immigrants or the terrorists.

A crossbow is not an automatic Weapon and requires spanning each time it is shot. A calculated evil deed. It doesn't bear thinking about what actually happened...a complete tragedy.

Let's outlaw everything. Starting with paper pins.

Outlaw everything that someone uses to do horrible things. That’s very English of you, NOT. How can we protect ourselves from violence since the state disarmed us?

we all new this was coming!

You don’t know what your children partners are like, because they are ok people to outsiders and nutcases and controlling behind close doors 😢😢😢🤬🙏🏻

That mum, what an incredible woman using the last of her strength to call 999. Blindly senseless act, and I really hope John Hunt and his daughter are able to get real justice for the girls and the mum.

mental health instant defence...........the victims will soon be forgotten ..standard......prayers and prayers

Lets ban butter knives and spoons because they can also be used as deadly weapons.

Ban cross bows same as guns keep banning so when the migrant army is switched on u have nothing to protect yr family with hmmmmm

They said it would take a few hours to get a gun illegally so why are we punishing the law abiding citizens?

Paying a guy off to leave your daughter at the first sign of anything "dodgy"... Julia love, most men would probably want to avoid your daughter cos your her mother!

Legalise guns in the uk crime has got too out of hand now and its the regular public who suffwr the mostb

Usual suspects of course..been happening a lot recently.

My nephew died on one those electric scooters, and there's been numerous deaths and accidents cause by them. How about you ban those? A knife can create culinary masterpieces for chefs or be a weapon of a destruction for misguided feral kid on a council estate. Does that mean we should ban them? Ridiculous

It’s a stupid question to ask how common is this kind of attack an irrelevant question is, I am appalled ,people are mentally fucked up you should be asking why is that the case , systems are failing and taking a toll on people

That’s the 2nd ( crossbow) killings. Seems to be a pattern . I can literally say I’ve never met anyone who has even mentioned a crossbow never mind use one. I call bs.

Watch the restriction of crossbows go up now

I hate how ageist this country is, wheres the wifes face at the start as well, all three are important, they all deserve to be respected. Its annoying they do that like people dont notice, this whole thing is horrible at least respect all three wonen who have passed.

Let's blame the weapons and not the plp

Never gets discussed. This is about a weak man who believes in the soulmate / the one myth. Girl ends relationship (as statistically 70% of all relationships are ended by the girl). Weak man decides ‘if I can’t have you, nobody can’ & murders his ex and attempts to take his own life in a murder / suicide. In this case it’s a familicide.

Horrible

Dosmestic violence is horrific, but the genocide of Palestinians is not for Julia Harley-Brewer.

When will the government realise that criminals don’t care if you outlaw something, the dangerous people will still have them and the sensible ones won’t

Curious as to know if he’d been reported by the daughter for threats?

Hos brother is also serving a life sentence...... pair of abduls

he was gonna do what he did regardless. you honestly think if he didn’t have a crossbow he’d of thought nah i’ll leave it? come on

No one ever wants to make the argument of the importance of self defense. Imagine if those 3 women had legal possession of a firearm and knew how to use it. The British people have been left defenceless.

Julia you cant control yr daughters choices been there

Talk T.V!!! the new BBC!!!!

My Dad was killed falling off a 🪜 ladder😢 Have you seen how many ladders are still out there...... Just waiting.

Working in the army really kills any guilt in killing anybody due to the number of killings he already has done in the army.

medieval

DV is rife in the UK

a chance for a real discussion about the capacity for violence, domestic abuse, patterns of violence in long term relationships etc etc... to blame the weapon used is so lame and unsophisticated.. just a stupid scapegoat for the simple minded yet another example that shows journalists are not employed for their critical thinking skills

She says she knows nothing about the relationship but proceeds to talk about relationships breakups. And all this I'd die to protect my child. Most parents would but I'm sure he didn't give them a call to tell them he's popping around. Jeez

Ban all knives, cars and booz while you're at it

Its the nutter with the crossbow not the crossbow What next steak knives

Once crossbows are banned there will be no more murders ...... is that true? ffs

Or can we talk about the man who did this and the bizzare acceptance of this psychology and this sort of act? Instead they're banging on about how easy it to get a crossbow/gun online. These conversations always avoid talking about how these sort of men who are controlling and abusive, have become that way and how we can start seriously challenging that, instead of having to tell our daughters to be super vigilant around the men they intertact with (but not to seem supervigilant, otherwise you'll offend him and maybe make him angry)

Instead of banning crossbows, they should consider unbanning guns, so this woman could have defended herself. But what do I know?

Stop the knee jerk reactions!

What percentage of murders have been committed by people using crossbows in the last 20 years ?

“There’s a lesson for everyone about being careful with the people you’re in relationships with” ?!?!?!???! Does this guy think that violent people make themselves known from the off? Abusive relationships, if he knew as much about them as he fancies himself to know, are insidious. They creep up. That comment made me so angry.

I wonder if the female victims felt the ‘passion’ in this ‘crime of passion’…. Disgraceful language!

Get someone on your show an expert or enthusiast to explain why we use or need crossbows in society???

People here saying its the person not the tool without realising guns were the ultimate self defense tool. When we are in danger of being attacked, the police advice we shout and scream for help...

4:50 - I think the reason they're rare is because a firearm is normally acquired when you or your family is threatened by an entire gang, or when you're outnumbered. If you have to reload it after every shot, you're vulnerable for at least 10 seconds until you're ready to fire the second arrow.

“Comes from difficult circumstances himself”? Nah

Whats his religion??

Guns are banned but there are 7000 firearms offences every year in the UK and with 3D printing this will continue to increase

Crime of passion or domestic 🤨 no ,, it was murder plain n simple,,, hate fuelled murder,, a crime of passion happens in that moment,, two weeks or so he had to get help ,,talk to someone,, it’s about a grown man not able to handle being told NO,,,

Outlaw the British Army Derp

Criminals in the labour party.

This is just an excuse to ban crossbows. They said that the guy used a knife as well, so if he didn't have a crossbow, it would not have stopped him. 99.9% of crossbow owners use them as a fun hobby.

Self-inlicted crossbow wounds?! How?!
