Shooting birds when there flying in the air also should be banned no need for it...

Now that doesn't even make sense.

I actually saw a proposal by an animal rights idiot -- I repeat, IDIOT -- that deer should only be taken with non-expanding bullets because soft-point bullets were banned (for use in warfare) by the Geneva convention!

oh brother.

I wonder if they'd settle for a fixed blade broadhead. It's non-expanding, that should satisfy that PETA nut. Ya think? I doubt it.

That goes on the list of my 'most asinine ideas'. The whole point of expanding bullets is to make a quick kill. Ball ammo is primarily used in warfare out of the philosophy that by wounding a soldier, it will take out 1 or more additional soldiers to get them to safety.

BTW, 'trench sweepers' were against the Geneva convention as well, but some of the old farts from WWII---guess what their favorite sidearm was in the South Pacific?
