To draw a comparison let's change 'handgun' to 'automobile', and 'hunting' to 'driving'. There are people who prove they shouldn't be behind the wheel, but we don't punish the good drivers by entirely banning driving motor vehicles due to the incompetence of some idiots. Quite frankly you're statistically much more likely to be killed by a bad driver than by some yahoo wih a firearm; does this fact keep you off the streets?

Handgun hunting should be legal, with just a few stipulations regarding adequate calibres for big game. Instead of bullet diameters though; perhaps it could be rated by the ft/lbs of energy potential in a cartridge; or some combination thereof.

You have : "Yes, but only for grouse" in the choices twice, that's gonna skew your statistics
And your title can always be edited by double clicking to the right of the thread title text when on the "General Discussion" page.
