I wonder how the Pope during the Crusades would have been received if he said something similar about sword manufacturers....

Luke 22:36

New International Version

He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.

See that wall? Guess why an earlier Pope constructed it. Then there's that neat armory. Anyone hear that he's selling off all those neat FIREARMS? NEITHER DID I!

They did classify the crossbow as anathema during that time. That probably applied to the makers of crossbows too.

You see with a crossbow a peasant could take out a highly trained knight.

And that just would not do.

Only the wealthy and powerful should be armed, otherwise those little people might start getting ideas above their station.

The more things change....
