The "Ban" is actually more of an online petition started by some whackos. They want to try and convince the country that Ms. Bachman took the lion in to ban her.
I'll say that I fear that the day will come that the liberal population that continues to grow in Colorado will have the numbers and power to ban all hunting in that state. I've only visited there once but the little town we spent a day in was full of Birkenstock and capri pant wearing "men" and hippie looking women.
