    Compare that to blue states where that are usually a lot of public land that you can drive to, put up some targets, and shoot for free 24/7

    I wonder how many dead bodies that get discovered in the wilderness are just hikers who caught stray bullets because American gun owners are stupid.

      The people who maintain those ranges are smarter than the gun owners, they all have backstops that will catch the bullets. Most of them are also monitored by someone who will boot you off the range if you’re doing something stupid that’d result in you not hitting the backstop.

        They’re talking about wilderness, not ranges. In California for example you can just head out into the desert and set up your own targets and shoot on federal land.
