I have no problem with American citizens getting weapons training on American soil, but how is it justifiable/legal to commercially train foreigners in weapons use? Dont tell any of the second ammendment people that you want people visiting target ranges to have to show their drivers license or some other proof of American citizenship before they are allowed to use the range. This Camp Ground Zero that you are complaining about spends most of its time training law enforcement.

Fine, train all the LE you want, and not even just LE - have at, American civilians. I don't see how my having a problem with foreign nationals getting weapons training on American soil at a commercially owned camp is any infringement on 2nd amendment rights, which, I thought, only applied to American citizens.

If foreign law enforcement or military wants to come over and train, that's fine too. Just do it in an official capacity, on state or federal ranges, with local LE or military cooperation or in conjunction with them. But not via free and unrestricted individual access to some commercially owned site.

If there is a red flag on this place, as indicated by the reports that Scotland Yard told US officials to take a look at it, that some of their Islamic extremists were talking about it over there, then I feel there is legitimate cause for concern.

The most radical and belligerent of London's Islamic clerics, Abu Hamza, told ABCNEWS in a phone call that America's laws make such paramilitary training easy, "like a picnic."

That quote from the article on this thread alarms me, how about you?
