The
federal government has, over the decades increasingly passed
legislation that puts it in control of the people and many laws and
regulations counter the fundamental freedom of choice that the
Founders encouraged, but did not mention it specifically when putting
together what became known as the Bill of Rights,
the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States.
Progress
has been made in the protection of rights clearly established in the
Second Amendment, but there are laws and regulations that should not
have passed by federal and state government. Recently, Wisconsin did
away with the useless draconian law that forbade hunting with a
crossbow, despite allowing bow hunting during prescribed season.
Hunting permits make sense because it limits hunting to a season and
is tailored toward the population of hunted animals. It prevents like
what happened in Wisconsin when turkeys became extinct in certain
areas because of open hunting, and hunting itself prevents
overpopulation of animals that creates a problem concerning disease
and starvation for lack of food.
