Mea culpa. Googling too late at night. And too much news from that benighted peninsula of late. I don't want to make a Korea of it. :-)

And yet your per-capita homicide rate is apparently higher than the US, and homemade guns are considered a significant problem.

Not seeing anything about a "crossbow violence" problem, though... :-)
