Indiana tries to "fix" a stupid hunting law, succeeds in banning ALL hunting with rifles.

I'm gonna go with "not an accident".

Besides legislators usually don't write the bills, special interest groups do.

Nah, Indiana is a very, very gun and hinting friendly state.  (with R majorities in both houses and the governor.  Mike Pence was Governor up until Trump tapped him to be VP.)  Probably in trying to specify which calibers and where they accidentally screwed up.

Where is the problem?  A competent hobby hunter should be able to take down even the largest & most dangerous game with naught but simple bow & arrow, or a well crafted atlatl.  A professional hunter or truly dedicated hobbyist will use only their own God given teeth and claws.   :old:

Spears are not allowed?  What about net launchers?

Legally, sure.  Practically speaking that is not so easy in Indiana.

The governor should simply not sign it.  Veto.

Lots of old quarries down in the southern half of the state, might take some work to drive them down from the northern half...
