Being a RifleHunter,as well as Archery,which is my prefered choice,it really doesn't concern me,whatever they decide to do.With the new muzzle Loaders,you really aren't giving up,a whole lot,only distance.
I think you are missing the point! How many restrictions are we going to allow them to impose on us before we get mad and stand up?
On the muzzle loader issue... You might have an advantage in range , over shotguns not rifles,but you are limited to one shot. i'm not saying that one shot shouldn't do it for your ethical hunters who only take "good" shots, but there is still the average guy who doesn't spend enough time at the range and needs some follow up shots. Could you imagine how many deer could run off somewhere and die without being recovered? Not something I want to think about!
