Red53, You need to read the Lehigh Valley Study that was commissioned by the State of Pa. and was done at the Piccatinny Arsenal.
I heard the same objections here in Wisconsin and we already had hunters taking rainbow shots with shotguns and having problems.
Our rifle law has now cleared the way for hunters to use whatever they want to hunt with rifle, shotgun, mzldr, handgun or bow. It made things very simple for the Conservation wardens to administer and freed them up to work on other problems.
You are making a problem that doesn't for the most part exist.
As far as freedom goes, like Jefferson said, I'd error on the side of too much than too little. If the anti-gun crowd had their way, they would label your .44 mag as too dangerous and the only acceptable firearm would be a 38-40 moving along at 800 fps. Watch what you wish for.
