"The bill by Sen. Debra Bowen, D-Redondo Beach, which now moves to the Assembly, would prohibit use of computer-assisted hunting sites, bar such sites from operating in California and prohibit the importation or exportation of any animal or part of an animal killed using computer-assisted hunting."
Look, I'm not a hunter. I also happent to think that Internet hunting is ridiculous. But if you want to do it, that ain't my call.
What worries me is, how are they gonna know? Set up some sort of monitoring for all internet traffic? Block it at the ISP? What else will they intercept or block?
Or is this, as I suspect, simply more posturing calculated to gin up public hostility to gun owners by exploiting the emotions stirred up by a "virtually" non-existent "problem"?
I'll tell you one thing--if I belonged to the California Sportsmen's Association, Safari Club International or the Outdoor Sportsman's Coalition of California, all of which support this nonsense, I'd quit and never send them another cent.
Talk about useful idiots.
