Your opinions wanted... for or against... what is the rationale behind a shotgun only hunting season in some parts of the country?

On the walk back from the range last night, after putting a bunch of slugs downrange, through a variety of materials, i thought about a a small easily-fragmented bullet versus a huge brush-penetrating slug lumbering along.

Is it a safety issue? political issue? Both?

thanks
