The recreation use from them is not worth the inevitable shootings. As the safety of the many come before the pleasure of the few. Not to mention the lead exposure on the environment from the bullet casings left on the ground and all the noise that’s caused from all the firing disrupting the wildlife.

If you want to play with guns like toys go take a vacation down south.

The only people who should have access to guns are the military, special forces and hunters in remote areas without any food alternatives.

    Imagine making this argument to my cousins who regularly take their rifles and go hunting for deer. Think of what their responses would be. Imagine how persuasive you would need to be to convince them to abandon that pursuit.

        I don’t think their point was that there isn’t a way to deprive those folks from having functional weapons. Clearly there are ways to achieve that to a great extent.
