If you’re a licensed hunter in Indiana, depending on the season, you can kill a deer with any of a wide variety of weapons – shotguns, handguns and rifles, muzzle-loaders, and bows and crossbows. But you can’t use rifles that fire certain high-powered cartridges.
The Indiana Natural Resources Commission is asking for comments on a proposal to allow hunters to use these more powerful weapons.
The commission, which sets the regulations enforced by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, could make a decision by May, in time for next fall’s deer-hunting season. |

Maybe I missed it, but what - specifically - "more powerful" cartridges are these folks talking about ?
Billy Dixon shot a Commanche war chief off his horse at a over a half-mile a the "Battle of Adobe Walls" (later certified by the USArmy), with a cartridge most would consider "underpowered" by current standards.
Seems to me legislation predicated more upon ignorance, (or contempt) of the science of ballistics than practicality. |

TO REMEMBER |
| There are other things so clearly out of the power of Congress, that the bare recital of them is sufficient, I mean the "...rights of bearing arms for defence, or for killing game..." These things seem to have been inserted among their objections, merely to induce the ignorant to believe that Congress would have a power over such objects and to infer from their being refused a place in the Constitution, their intention to exercise that power to the oppression of the people. —ALEXANDER WHITE (1787) |
