Not until you promise to pick up all the brass you’ve left on the ground. My wife is crying because she keeps thinking about all the innocent birds 🦅 that have died because you allowed a bunch of insane gun toting A-holes to litter on your property. Actually, I’m starting to tear up a little thinking about all the birds that have died because of your negligence. When I was young my parakeet, Meryl Cheep, died from a gun accident. The gun she was conceal carrying was a little to heavy and made her favor her right side so she kept flying in circles and eventually the circles got so big she ran into a power line. It was one of the most electrifying events in my life. I can’t stop thinking about all the birds that have died because all the rednecks you’ve allowed to litter your property. I’m a mandated bird protector, your way out of line young lady!!
Here we have the case of Atlanticmike. The poster who is incapable of finishing.

Anything.
I finished you by proving you’re a hypocrite!! What kind of idiot talks about being a mandated reporter and says “oh! I would report that guy because his girls have access to a safe”” but you’re the fuxxin red neck with a shooting range and a dozen guns😂🤣😂🤣. You kill wildlife by littering just like a red neck fxxxin hillbilly!!!but I’m the one that needs to be reported?!?! You gotta be kidding me. Gun ranges are extremely dangerous, extremely!! Depending on the caliber, a bullet can travel for over a mile and a half, endangering anyone inside that area. Out of everyone who’s commented on this thread, you’ve put more lives in danger than everyone else combined!! Highly irresponsible to have a private shooting range! And especially one that the owners don’t care enough to pick up the brass. For fxxx sake!

Hey Jersey! Gun ranges are perfect places for depressed people to commit self murder! Do you do back ground checks before allowing people to shoot at your range? Do you arm people that might have suicidal tendencies and you don’t know it? If so, how is that responsible? The video is a great example why homeowners shouldn’t have gun ranges

People everywhere have suicidal tendencies. But places where guns are easily available are places with the highest rates of suicide. Montana, Wyoming and Alaska have a higher rate of gun ownership that the other 47 states.

Would you care if the three worst states with highest rates of suicide were the same three states?

Probably not. But it remains a consistent fact. Also, the states with the lowest rate of gun ownership tend to be at or near the bottom of the list when it comes to suicides. The 10 states with the fewest suicides are, as well as their (rank) in gun ownership:

1. New Jersey (48th)
2. New York (45th)
3. Massachusetts (50th)
4. Maryland (41st)
5. California (42nd)
6. Rhode Island (47th)
7. Illinois (43rd)
8. Delaware (40th)
9. Connecticut (44th)
10. North Carolina (26th)

I'll be happy to respond to this one post of yours. After that I am out of any so-called exchanges with you until and unless you can go back and take up the original exchanges like a normal person.

It's true that gun ranges are potential locations for depressed people to commit suicide. So are cars. So are homes where the weapons owner keeps a loaded gun easily accessible. Have you ever seen a deceased person, a loved one, with a self inflicted bullet hole in their head put their by their own hand using their own weapon that was kept loaded with a hollow point bullet?

I have.

Mike, why invite people to think that you have the I.Q. of a bag of hammers? Know your facts:

We conducted text searches of 63,710 firearm suicides in the 16 states participating in the National Violent Death Reporting System from 2004 to 2015 to identify those occurring at public shooting ranges. Results: A total of 118 (or 0.18%) occurred at a shooting range, or 0.12 per million population. If that rate held for the nation as a whole, there would have been roughly 35 shooting range suicides per year during the study period. In total, 88% of decedents arrived alone. When gun ownership was noted, 86% of guns were rented from the range. In some cases, people drove to the range and took their lives in the parking lot with their own gun.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32343169/

Tens of thousands more suicides by firearm happen in the environment that you host than at a range. Yet you don’t dare to talk about the safety ramifications of firearms in households with children & their friends because you’re too scared that it will make you look ‘weak’. ; )

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you and your neighbors.

Of course neither Mike nor Binger will address the data as it pertains to correlation with suicides and high rates of gun ownership. It dovetails perfectly with the point that more guns = more deaths. Always.

That's because they don't give a crap about people dying. These geriatrics are more worried about having their right to play cowboys and Indians taken away from them.
