PA was the first state to not allow semi automatic single projectile firearms to be used for hunting. Since then there have been people trying to change that. There are always those who want more, no matter if it is needed or necessary, that is human nature. I have one, I want to hunt with it is the reason. There is now a board of Commissioners that is willing to consider the change. The question is, are they willing to do it with a ground swell against it. Based on the comparison with the never ending attempts to get Sunday hunting, I have to say the chances are not good because the only reason PA does not have Sunday hunting of all wildlife, there is Sunday hunting of some, is because of the huge out pouring of opposition to it when ever it comes up. While Sunday hunting is an issued the general assembly must deal with, and semi autos for all hunting is an issue the board of the commissioners must deal with, both are political in nature which means the general assembly will be lobbying one way ot the other so I would not bet against rejection,
