We're doing Ok, thanks... this?

Lots of heavy discussion over there

I hope more and more people are seeing the danger of the "I don't shoot a ___, so I don't care it they outlaw 'em" mentality. Today's "sniper rifle" is tommorrow's deer rifle. Ditto shotguns.... a trained shooter with a bag of shells and a common skeet or trap gun can do as much damage to a crowd of people as a gunman with a full-auto weapon. No category of firearm is safe from the grabbers.

Being too close to Sickago (Chicago) I know what you say is true. If we cut off Cook and the collar counties IL would be the reddest of the Red states on the electoral maps.

Gotta love it here in Georgia. Plenty of trap,skeet, and regular shooting ranges. The olympic shooting venue,Wolf Creek, hosts tournaments every weekend except in Jan./Feb.

It's really sad that liberals have to attack legitimate sports to promote their greed inspired agendas.Heck, we had trap shooting in 4-H summer camp, and as long as you could hold the shotgun up,you were in.

Gun haters will say whatever to get their way. Join the cause and sign a petition for enforcement of the 2nd Amendment to John Ashcroft. If Ashcroft enforces this with California the effects are sure to spread nationwide. Go to this internet site:

They proposed a "dual" trap line Does this mean the traps would have been back to back? With like a walk way or road for separation?

I am not really sure of the concept. For safety reasons, I would think, it would be a back to back line.
For more information on this, check out the link that backhoe provided.

Of course, what hunters and trapshooters have to do with the Second Amendment is beyond me.

Not being a hunter, I cannot speak for them. But, I do know, that many trapshooters (majority being mature men), are very concerned about Second Amendment rights.
