A municipality in my area has decided to outlaw the use of any firearms or bows and arrows. There are many areas within the municipality that are rural, but fall under their jurisdiction. Do they have the right to tell someone what they can and can't do on their own property? Their goal is to restrict anyone from hunting within the jurisdiction. I contacted the Fish and Game commission and they said that the state has complete authority over all hunting but many (power hungry -my words) municiplaities will enact anti-gun/anti-bow laws to get around the states authority. What if anything can be done? Is this unconstitutional?
I can understand if they want to restrict firearms for safety, but I cannot remember anyone being killed by a bowhunter.
If their argument is for safety purposes, they should first outlaw all bars in the area. A woman was recently killed by a drunk driver in their jurisdiction. Obviously, safety of the citizens is not priority # 1.
No antihunting answers please
