No, my dear, it does not make sense. Singing, in whatever surroundings, about any legal activity (granted, whale hunting is for the most part outlawed, so let's agitate the Bambi-huggers) such as deer hunting or logging is a far cry from incitement to murder. That's what Cop Killer is. That's all it is. Nothing political, no acceptable expression of discontent by a minority group, it is simply incitement to a hate crime. Not only should the song be banned, the singer/writer should be prosecuted under the federal hate crimes law.
