"So, if it were that easy, why didnt we do the bingo bango before ramming the xbow down the throats of the 90% who were against it?"
Here we go again with the 90% crap. A true representation of the hunters in PA? Prove it. It was just 90% of those who knew of, and responded to a proposal by the PGC. How many responded v total number ofhunters in PA?And my guess is that most were bowhunters being vocal, not the general hunting population in PA.
Sorry, but that is a desperate arguement that just doesnt wash. The issue was all over the hunting media and the net. Just like the bonehead who doesnt vote but then complains about what politicians do, those who never took enough interest to participate simply don't count. Public comment was invited and there was a response. The issue was quite an active one in terms of the volume of the responses. There is no reason to think that there is any inaccuracy in the numbers.
Your demand to "prove it" is inappropriate and misdirected. If you wish to dispute the FACT that 90% of the response recieved was against the crossbow,YOU are the onewho bearsthe burden of proof.
Read my post again, only this time pay attention.
