California, of course, foreshadows what is to come. Already, the extremist Violence Policy Center is exploiting ignorance and fear to recommend banning anyone under 18 from shooting ranges, to call for local “audits” to harass and close ranges, to ban the use of “assault weapons,” to mandate a moratorium on new range construction, and — get this — to halt firearms safety training because “any possible benefits … are outweighed by the risk of lead poisoning.”"Getting the Lead Out" is my Rights Watch column for the September 2008 issue of GUNS Magazine, on sale now at nontoxic newsstands throughout the Republic.
Used to go to an indoor range, averaging 100 rounds or more a session sometimes twice a week. I DID get lead poisoning because as it turned out the ventilation was installed BACKWARDS. Once that was corrected, the symptoms went away.
ReplyDeleteThey're going to keep pushing and pushing. Any excuse will do, whether it's the "gun violence as public health hazard epidemic" or lead, or gun CLEANING PRODUCTS, or whatever works.
Canada is closing its ranges...
Get 'em sighted in, ladies and gentlemen. Find out what powder load and bullet weight they like best. You may not get many more chances for experimenting and adjusting before PRACTICE is OVER.
