I'm just trying to see where your line is. Handguns can be used for hunting also but are FAR less accurate and have less range so therfore are not as useful. Not necessarily, some hunters enjoy more of a challenge. Well, you could try using sharp sticks . You ever heard of a bow and arrow?BASE 1384 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's sport you're after the other side should have an opportunity to kill you.Quote Please, do tell us how that goes. Well, let me explain: In football, each side gets a turn with the ball. In baseball each side gets to pitch and to bat. In a marathon everyone gets to go the same distance. At the USPA nationals each team gets the same rules. In the America's Cup each boat is built to the same rules and runs the same course. These are all sports, that is the way sports work. So IF you want to call hunting a sport, the animal should have the same opportunity to kill you as you have to kill it.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

But in any case let's compromise. We'll give the animals the same weapons the hunters have. That should even it up.
