I get your position and appreciate it but it is not trivial what is happening to gun industry. Big believer in proper limits and game management; however bag and creel limits do change rightly and wrongly. Would someone ever push a narrative to eliminate millions of semi automatic hunting guns, but then just say double barrel guns are okay, stranger things have happened like a little thing called Prohibition. Never in my lifetime did I think Marijuana would be legalized in US, guess what.
It would be a slippery slope though for sure and its give and take proposition at best as a compromise. NRA, gun manufacture lobby, hunters collective cry might be the second loudest sound ever noted by mankind behind Krakatoa explosion if it were to happen.
Like I said Pigs might probably fly about then as well. Its just a theory, but how far fetched really is it. Recall most semi-autos shotguns have a magazine that can hold 4 shells but are supposed to be plug limited to only hold 2 rounds when hunting migratory game. It would not be hard for the Fed to just make that regulation change with the quick stroke of a pen and not change bag limits at all and they can do it on a whim calling it a test and it have nothing to do with how a gun is made or what type.
Besides even it were to happen not certain it would help sxs market but only a little, it would probably just mean sales of O/U would increase by a way more exponential factor.
Btw I also have simple rule change that would make game of football safer and eliminate confusing targeting and head lowering penalties. I will refrain as that might be too much to absorb and already off thread topic way more than I should be.
