Sounds like suppressors are going to get more popular

The proposal includoes opening more approved shooting ranges and could be put to public comment within weeks.

Quite frankly, i havn't been happy with the forest service for the last year. After the flooding we had, they closed down old stage, and other roads while they fixed the washed out trails and roads. Several others opened and here we are a year later and old stage is still closed. A few miles past the stables, were numerous placs where people would shoot, and there is no other way to reach them.

Since they denied access, i've had to go pay to use ranges, to work on my IPSC loads and power factor, which is a sporting activity. We are ending up with fewer and fewer ''approved'' places to shoot. They just want to make us all criminals anyway, so maybe we should create a new sport. Call it AICCAAMTTBT practical shooting. Approved inner city coalition of armed Americans making their towns better today.

We meet every week in the shittiest neighborhoods all over america, looking for gang bangers, drug dealers, and liberals, taking down tango's to make our towns better today.

All joking aside, we should start looking for holes in the proposal. For instance, setting up approved ranges for people to shoot at. They tried this already, and it failed miserably. The rampart range shooting range started OK then turned into a dumping ground for TV's and refrigerators that had been shot up. Finally, there was an accidental shooting, and a guy died before his friends could get him down the trail, and to the hospital. It was finally closed down.

Of course this example wouldn't be used, as it would give them ammo to shut down all shooting 45 miles into the forest.

We just have to be the more vocal majority at any and all meetings about this proposal. We need to get this story in the news all across colorado, so we can let other shooters hear about it. We need to use the liberal media against themselves, to help rally the troops so to speak.

If the numbers of firearm sales have been booming here in colorado it shouldn't be so hard to get a ton of people to stand with us. Especially new shooters, who have just discovered their second amendment rights. Shoot, when I first started shooting competitively, all I thought about was shooting. Now you add in the range fees, ammo costs, and gas, and shooting in the mountains really helps. now tell these new gun owners the govt. Wants to take away one of the places they can shoot.

Also, if shooting in the forests, memorize the rules, and don't be breaking them.if told to leave for no reason, recite the rules you aren't breaking, and politely offer to leave when done shooting, and cleaning up your shooting area.until there is a law rewritten, you aren't breaking them, and can continue to shoot.
