I have no interest in hunting with a spear or an atlatl, but I will most certainly speak for sportsmen to have that choice.

While I can see both sides of the arguments here, this statement comes closest to describing my thoughts on the subject.
The issue was raised by a hunting organisation (the president to be more precise), not an anti-hunting group.
And they didn't ask for it to be regulated, they asked for a ban.
Poor decision in my opinion.
