By not "allowing hunting" with it you fell into stage 2 of the anti-gun trap!!! The first is "sporting purpose", which the average person out there equates to hunting when thinking about firearms. When we start restricting the use of certain guns for hunting or any use for that matter. We fall right into the other sides trap that they have laid for us!!! Of course we have to be responsible hunters but lets not define exactly what a proper hunting rifle is. Thats giving the anti-gunners the rope to hang us!
