As far as banning hammer guns or any other item or activity....
If it is private property, a private club, .... then it is those individuals who own, are responsible and liable for the property that get to make the rules. They can make any rule they like as long as it does not violate State or Federal laws.
If they say no hammer guns, ... then no hammer guns it is, regardless of what their reasons are or what anyone else thinks.

I think the point Ted was making is that it is just stupid to ban a certain type of gun because some fool misused one in the past. You don't have to pull a gun into a tree stand on a rope to have an accidental discharge. All you need to do is slip or trip while carrying a cocked and loaded shotgun without intercepting sears.
But for all the talk about the wisdom or stupidity of banning this or that type of gun... how many gun owners still vote for Liberal Left Democrat politicians who wish to ban them all???
Now THAT is dumb!
