"Ok, that people who likes to hunt will be able to hunt with crossbows after we
pass $this_bill, no problem"

<four years later>

"People who likes to hunt will be able to hunt with slingshots after we pass

Defending hobbies does not work. What works is mustering enougyh hobbyist that
they are a political force on their own. Of course they will make excuses to
harass you by that point, because that is how politics work, but the point is
if they are not uncomfortable doing it, it is because they perceive your group
as a pushover.
