I suggest that anyone that believes in "bow-only" go take their thoughts and beliefs over to the archery forums. I can see that those ideals are not welcome in aregional/general hunting forumthat incorporates any means of taking an animal.

I don't like people that try to infringe my 2nd Amendment rights. Geez, I am surprised no liberal has brought up the UN ban on guns that the NRA believes the US might sign. I would love to know how the NRAthinks the US can sign that ban when we have the 2nd Amendment. For all you liberals that believe they can do it because the right belongs to the state's militia. NEWS FLASH: There are no more state regulated militias (that theory is unconstitutional) and the right is included in the bill of rights, my rights as an individual.

There has been talk of banning semi-auto weapons anyway, so QS you just might get your wish. Only you can prevent this from happening, but judging by what has been said in this thread, I have doubts about our country and gun ownership.

Just something to keep in mind, I am judging QS that you are a pretty strong (I didn't say fit) but at least a strong guy if your hunting with a bow. Not everyone is strong enough to pull back the minimum draw weight allowed, either because they are too old or too young. Stop thinking about yourself and start thinking about others that have interest in thesport, their point of view on the situation. Firearms are only way they can take an animal, and just because they aren't strong enough to pull back a bow doesn't mean they are any less safe. It sounds to me like you want the woods to yourself.
