Topic: Ohio no hunting deer with a modern rifle but you cannot hunt deer with a modern rifle. In Ohio, there is a law stating that a deer hunter cannot use a modern smokeless powder rifle of any kind, but you can use the same rifle on coyote. This doesn’t make since, and when you add the fact that the coyote season is year round with no firearm restrictions whatsoever. So just what is this hunting rifle ban on deer trying to solve?

Topic: Sunday Hunting Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. These laws were put in place in the 18th and 19th century when everything from shopping to fishing, and hunting was banned. All of these laws have slowly been eliminated with the exception of the Sunday hunting law. What good does that do for anybody?

Topic: Gun Control Our right to own guns is protected by the 2nd amendment, and anything trying to stop the ownership or ever limit the ownership of guns is unconstitiutional. Also, if Gun Control is aimed to stop criminals, thats not going to work because they will get guns off the black-market and them be able to harm citizens that no longer have any means to protect themselves. I also belive that if guns are banned, then a repeat of what happened during the 1930's (prohabition) will cause a large crimewave that cannot be stoped.

HB36- People should support this bill because it protects their rights as citizens, the rights won by those who died trying to get those rights from England and King George the 3rd. Also, hunting is one of the safest outdoor activities, “7/100,000 of one percent of Ohio hunters will be harmed while actively hunting.” That’s 0.0000007%. Also, I have bin injured more from baseball, and so has my dad, than hunting accidents, because nether of us has had one, and we both have had multiple baseball injures that were pretty bad.

The reason I am interested in this bill is because I am a hunter and I hear my grandfather talking about how there are people that want to take that away from us. He is probably trying to make sure I know what is going on so I won’t just sit there and let it happen, and I am not going to sit there and let people that largely don’t know the first thing about hunting or guns tell me that they aren’t safe because of some exaggerated news story that happens so rarely that it is front page news because it so rare for that event to happen. I mean 0.0000007% of Ohio hunters will be injured while actively hunting and I bet that most of those injures are not life threatening. People need to know what they are talking about before they go make laws about it, and when it come to hunting I know what I am talking about.
