Good point on the cougar/bear hound hunting and baiting issue. The funny thing is that nobody has ever tried to dispute the constitutionality of that initiative, as initiatives can only address a single issue. That initiative actually addressed up to 4 depending on how you look at it.

I'm all for restricting magazine capacity "FOR HUNTING ONLY". I don't see any reason why someone would need more than 4 or 5 rounds in a rifle while hunting. I still carry about 15-20 rounds on me, just in case I ever get lost and I need to signal.

Many states have magazine restrictions for hunting while Washington currently has no such restriction.

One issue is that I would exempt .22s and other rimfires. Some of them have tubular magazines that really can't be modified, 10/22's have a standard 10 round mag, and my .17 hmr and .22 mag rifles have 8 rounders. I'm not aware of anybody making 5 rounders.

Even when I'm at the range, I usually only load 10 rounds at most in my AR mags, for two 5 round groups. I shoot one group, then the other, make the rifle safe, then go down range. If I load more, then I end up having to remove the mag and remove the chambered round.

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.


My point exactly!

Why are laws concerning what another man wants to carry in his rifle needed ?

There are more laws than can be enforced already...

Close down every meth lab. in the U.S., catch every thief and rapist, then get back to me about passing more laws which solve problems that don't even exist.....................................

As long as proper ammo is used they are fine. Isn't it illegal to hunt with full metal jacket like many sks bullets are.....just a thought

PMC, Winchester, Wolf, and other companies make softpoint and HP rounds suitable for hunting.
