I don't think it is hard to understand the difference between government using force and punishment to achieve beat down compliance versus educating the public on all of the benefit of the information provided voluntarily and much would be available for years from many hunting clubs, leased and pay for play free roam lodges. The government finds it much easier to use MANDATE and FORCE against its citizens (employers I might add) than to work with its citizens.

Its not so much the information as it is the way it is to be collected.

Hope that clears it up.
