Pigeon shoots ain’t hunting.
I agree with you in principle, but the left is using this as a wedge issue to ban all hunting. It's how they always operate.
When I was born, seatbelts in cars were optional equipment.
When I was a few years old, car makers were required to install them.
Not too long after that, failure to wear a seatbelt became a secondary offense you could be charged with if pulled over for speeding, reckless driving, etc.
Before long, failure to wear a seatbelt became a primary offense and you could be pulled over and cited merely because a police officer thought he saw you driving without one.
In recent years, your and my tax dollars have gone to ad campaigns which use our own money to threaten us about what's going to happen if we drive without a seatbelt. Additional tax dollars fund overtime police patrols to specifically target seatbelt compliance.
Do you seriously think that if 'canned hunts' are banned, the anti-hunters will be content to stop there? I would much rather 'real hunters' mock these, and let the free market eventually elimate them altogether.
No, but it’s getting rid of pigeons.
