Your point is well made, however, bear in mind that shooters and hunters en masse have been antagonized by the government's forced buyback of semi auto's last year. That will take time to settle down.
There is also the threat of further law changes leading to restrictions which go from the unnecessary to the idiotic and back again, hanging over us as shooters.
To now have the hunting restrictions imposed on us is a further poke in the eye. Some will take it gracefully. Some not.
I must concede that the bigger picture of public welfare is more important than our need to hunt( unless it's to feed the family, then it becomes a different matter).
The context of all of this matters, in terms of understanding the reaction.
