For a few hundred dollars, John Lockwood's live-shot.com enables computer users around the world to manipulate video and firearm equipment in the pursuit of killing the deer, antelope and sheep that roam his ranch. Advertisement California state Sen. Debra Bowen, D-Marina del Rey, introduced a bill in February to ban state residents from using Lockwood's site or launching similar ventures, and U.S. Rep. Thomas Davis, R-Va., introduced a measure that would make Internet hunting an offense punishable by up to five years in prison. Texan hunters are even coming down on the side of the lawmakers. "It's not hunting," said Kirby L. Brown, executive vice president of the Texas Wildlife Association. "It falls off of the end of the ethical chart."
