They can set a KE minimum (velocity and pellet diameter) like they do with archery gear (draw weight minimum).
Then there is the no Sunday hunting which is also ridiculous. No reason in the world why Sunday hunting shouldn't be allowed.
I think they did approve the use of Air guns with the semi-auto law. .177 to .22 ???
