*sigh* I'm sick of the 'think of the children' attitude. It's been used for many things over the years, mainly as a scapegoat. Fess up people, your scared of an inanimate object. Running off your emotions. What better place for a range? Take the youngsters over there after school as a reward for good grades. The kids would love it. I haven't met one yet who didn't enjoy plinking with a .22

Incoming fire has the right of way

Lead from pencils would pose I higher risk, I presume. Perhaps gun ranges should object to schools being close by.

The lead in pencils is actually graphic, which is a allotrope of carbon, and is safe.

This protest is a joke, the anti's will grab on to anything they can to try and stop the spread of gun rights, and enjoyment of shooting sports.
