Yep .... no arguement from me there. But perhaps you forget the reasons that slug only laws were enacted in the first place - proximity to people and limited range.

I have no dog in this fight. I have a 30-06 and a 30-30 in the gun cabinet right next to my slug guns.

They would probably stay there regardless of what happens with this bill. I can't see 50 yds in the areas I gun hunt every fall, and I've grown quite fond of the terminal performance of 12 ga. slugs on deer sized critters.

My point is that rifles will not make a significant difference to the hunting in our neck of the woods, and perhaps folks should be working on improving their skills instead of their range.
