Gun ranges are frequently targeted by left-wing activists in the government, and sadly, one is finally about to be wrongly shut down.

In Washington state there's an Initiative 594 in progress, the vote on it will be Nov 4, 2014. Chances are its going to pass since its backed by big money billionaires. This will affect local gun ranges, one in particular is the Kitsap Rifle & Revolver Club established in 1926.

Soon it will be on the chopping block, according to CEO Marcus Carter. KRRC has been targeted for nearly 20 years by left-wing activists in government. Obviously, this is targeting club members second amendment rights to practice shooting.

This thread has just added to the FreeRepublic "bang list" (firearms interest list) by adding the keyword "banglist".

Any time a firearms-related thread is created on FreeRepublic, please be sure to add the "banglist" keyword to it so that interested FReepers don't miss it. Just a suggestion.

Liberals are very active in Washington right now. Kitsap County is no exception. A recent proposal there under the name of Title V is intertwined with the gun range issue and actually provides for illegal search and seizure.

I like your byline (atheists never dare to sue muslims).
Hopeefully, this gun range will be replaced by a new one in the same area.

Not at all surprising. This was in full swing many years ago. Every outdoor range I went to was running scared and severely limited what you could do - one shot in the rifle at a time, no drawing from a holster, very very slow fire etc. In fact many ranges were run by the ‘nice guns’ crowd, mostly hunters and game shooters. It was their view that if they played nice w/ the liberals they’d be allowed to keep their clubs and guns. The only thing the libs required was they fall into line and advocate ‘approved’ guns and crap on those who wanted black guns. Guess thats not working out so well.

Pro Second Amendment Washington state voters need to back passing a gun range protection statute addition to their state laws. We have one here in Wisconsin and it helps keep established ranges open. Range users still have to shoot safely as rounds leaving the range gives gun haters a way to harass & shut down a range.

The next gun range should be opened at the next fascist democratic national convention.

Thank you so much for the link to “Gun Facts.” I read the entire book this afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed same.
Most interesting was the last part which deals with the 2nd Amendment and the changes in the wording prior to the final amendment. Bravo!!!!

BatGuano (if that is indeed your name $;-), I'm very glad you found 'Gun Facts' to be educational and powerful. Guy Smith has labored on this essential work for many, many years, and deserves the thanks of the entire firearms community.
