Hunt Via the Internet

I'm not sure that this is one of the *best* ideas ever conceived...

 “A controversial Web site, www.live-shot.com, already offers target practice with a .22 caliber rifle and could soon let hunters shoot at deer, antelope and wild pigs, site creator John Underwood said Tuesday.“

This is not hunting.  This will be just shooting up animals from the internet for pure entertainment and should not even be remotely considered hunting.  I hope Texas does the right thing here and outlaws this.  I don't have anything against hunting, but come on, this just is not it.

Perhaps sticking to Halo, Half Life, BF 1942, or some other first person shooter would be a better idea.

Surely it's already illegal? Wouldn't the person using it have to have a gun license since they're in control of the weapon? What would happen if you accidentally killed someone -it'd still be murder right?

To take that a bit further, who would have jurisdiction if someone in control of the weapon in Michigan shoots someone in Texas?

Well, if you killed a few it'd be federal :-)
