Well said dogfish,
I would just like to add aliitle to that and bring an example close to the PNW. Remember when baiting and hound hunting were banned for bear and cougar. Most of the SHEEPLE probably never heard or saw any of theses hunting methods until it hit the media airwaves. It envoked a sympathy vote becaus it became graphicaly and visualy violent to them. The SHEEPLE are not biologists and should not be making these types of decisions. The anti gun crowd is doing them same thing by shinning the spot light on the most horrfic and sad gun crimes to envoke sympathy for the victim on a nation wide scale. It is real easy to sway someone when they compelled to make decisions when there emotions are set into sad react mode.
Wheter you are a hunter, a shooter, collector etc etc. We need to be firm in our beliefs and not be easily swayed like the SHEEPLE. If we could come up with some ideas, money, and organization witout coruption we stand a great chance. I think this is what the NRA was supposed to be before it became a corupt political lobbyist group.
Back to the miltary style firearm hunting. What would you guys think if the magazines capacitites were restricted to 5 or 6 rounds for hunting only. I wouldn't see the difference between a browning semi auto in .308 that could hold 5 rounds and a HK semi auto in .308 with the same capacity other than apperance.
