Reply to comment by IrrumaboMalum in Local deer hunters back bill changing opening day of deer season by zorionek0

It’s asinine that I can check traps with a semi auto .22 rifle, but to do so with a semi auto .22 pistol is illegal.

Hunting laws and PAGC-controlled regulations are very asinine.

If the state legislature would let the PGC do its job and make rules and regulations as it sees fit, we could avoid a lot of bullshit.

The PAGC has a lot of control. Take semiautos for example. Originally it was state law that prohibited semiautomatics for hunting. Then the state repealed that law and the PAGC was given the authority to determine which types of game semiautomatics could be used for.

So the PAGC polled existing hunters to see if they what seasons they wanted semiautomatics to be allowed for. Naturally the existing hunters, predominantly Fudds, opposed semiautomatics being used for anything larger than a coyote, so the PAGC changed their intended plan that would've allowed semiautos for deer and such and ended up restricting semiautos to small game, varmints and predator control.
