I doubt that. I fail to see how a high tech crossbow is all that different from a vertical reflex bow with multiple pulleys. None of them were what my English forebears used to skewer the French knights.
My point was that banning certain high powered crossbows from bow hunting season isn’t really an attack on the second amendment or our freedom. It may just be an attempt to define “bow hunting” in a way that preserves what is good about bowhunting as a sport.
They do the same thing with auto racing - you can’t necessarily just build the fastest car you can possibly build, and expect to enter it in any race. There are different categories, and restrictions.
Same with prize fighting - they have weight classes, etc..
The same with all sports, entertainment and art - they are divided into categories, with certain defining characteristics to protect that category from being hijacked or preempted by what is essentially a different sport.
People who run sculpture shows will probably have to decide at some point whether to disallow the use of 3D printers as a tool for sculpting. Perhaps the people who want to use 3D printers could put on their own show.
I know in my town I’d rather have a bow hunting season that excluded these high powered crossbows. It seems like it defeats the whole purpose of hunting limited to bowhunting. Plus, when the townsfolk agreed to allow bow hunting, what they had in mind was traditional vertical compound bows - they might retract their approval if the technology escalates.
