    Thankfully I have friends with a lot of land, but my local range is owned by an avid trump supporter. I’ve had serious conversation with my wife about owning a gun but she’d never pass a background check due to her mental health history.

      There’s a range here that requires an NRA membership to even join lol, I laughed in a ladies face when she told me that. I’m fortunate enough to live in a place with a few nice, public-access ranges that are run by/in cooperation with state parks and those are usually a little more welcoming places run by Rangemasters who take their job seriously.

      Shooting can be a really fun hobby and a great way to bond with friends and family, it’s a shame it’s been so politicized and mischaracterized by people with questionable motivations.
