I want to know why half of those Pitmann-Robertson taxes aren’t spent on target ranges on BLM and Forest Service lands.
Every BLM And National Forest district should be maintaining at least one range. If you want to prevent issues with recreational shooting, then dig out a shooting pit, and swamp the trash out once in a while.
And encourage shooters to arrest assholes who dump trash there.
That sounds like the perfectly logical arguement that happens all the time by me about rscetracks/drag strips. They closed them all on Long Island, and then get pissed when people race on the street…
The original Vanderbilt Cup course, the Long Island Motor Parkway, and Bridgehampton would all be national cultural sites, if we still had a culture. Oh yeah, and West Islip too. That other culture.
So, offer us a total ban, relent, then close, oh, say a third. The art of the possible. Your pro-gun congressman will claim ‘victory!’ in his fundraiser.
As an example of how this works, here in Austin the Walmart corporation wanted to put in 4 stores around the city. They went to the city council and proposed 5, with one sitting atop a very ecologically sensitive aquifer recharge zone. Enviros screamed and shouted, councilpersons ranted, talk radio fulminated, etc., etc., and eventually just before the court cases started Walmart relented and grudgingly changed their plan to ONLY FOUR stores, which city council grandly approved, to the public acclaim of enviros, themselves, talk radio, etc..

Comatus is correct.
