I think that you got sidetracked by the rhetoric about regulating and doing what is in the best interests of hunters.....

The ABA proposal is:

"Make use of spears and atlatls illegal for hunting big game in AB."

I don't see anywhere in there that states that the ABA would merely like to define what they are, you know, in best interests of all hunters .....they want them BANNED.....period!
