Ranges of Death

Even in a state known for some of the nation's toughest gun control laws, unlicensed shooters in Massachusetts have to do little more than swear they are not criminals, drunk or mentally unstable to fire their choice of pistols or rifles.

Horrors!

Next thing they'll tell us is that shooting range injuries and deaths are approaching the pandemic proportions of activities as insanely perilous as...high school cheerleading.

That certainly seems justification for new uniform laws to harass ranges into performing background checks, with maybe days to get approval if the system hiccups. Heck, BATFU could swell their ranks with enforcement agents to make sure all registries have been completely and accurately filled out, and shut down any rogue ranges that violate paperwork protocols!

And by taking away places to learn and practice safe gun handling and marksmanship, we can rely on our old friend the law of unintended consequences to make its presence known...
