When I was in high school in the early 80’s,(Northern New Mexico) every pickup in the parking lot had a rifle in the window rack. Including mine. Most of us wore a knife on our belt. This was normal.
Now, if those people don't want a shooting range on a particular parcel of land, what they should do is BUY that land, with their own money, and not put a shooting range there. The solution is just that simple.
