Default RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!

Folks, The fur trappers use to say the same thing and look where their at. I hate to say it but if we're not careful it just may happen. With these two groups joining forces they have what 500, 1000 lawyers whos only mission is to stop your sport. They have both time and money, lots of money on their side and they will just slowly chip away till its gone. Look at the problems they have caused for some states to have dove hunts, bear hunts or pheasant hunts. They don't care about lost habitat, caring capacities,disease or car collisions. All they care about is that we don't hunt, period.

First PETA will be coming after the traditional bowhunters, convincing the public and courts that its a cruel, inaccurate, primative weapon. Then they'll go after the rest of the sport of bowhunting. Next will be small game hunting because that is truly recreational. Then all they need to do is divide and eliminate the different firearms groups one at a time.

Less then 10% of the nations population hunts so all peta has to do is convince the a portion of the non-hunting population that what we do is somehow wrong or cruel or that their way is better (ie birth control, ect.) and hunting is gone. The numbers are against us and what really gets me pi$$ed is that out of that 10% that hunts only about 3% vote or even bother to get involved at all. Majority of them just sit back and say it won't effect them.
