Hunting with semiautomatic rifles

The Pennsylvania Game Commission is now taking comments on chaining its policy to allow the use of semiautomatic rifles.  

Here is my comment, sent earlier this evening.

Dear Game Commission members,

Because of knee and back problems, I haven’t hunted for the last few years, but when I did, I always regarded it as a sport, not a way to efficiently kill animals.  Please keep it a sport and don’t allow semiautomatic rifles.  I don’t care if Pennsylvania is the only state not to allow such rifles.  We should set an example for the other 49, not follow blindly in a misguided policy.

The comment period is open until March 27.  The email address for the Game Commission is <pgccomments@pa.gov>.
