[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3312032, member: 3099"] Here's a copy of the filed draft. Note that they specifically name "sport shooting" in their range definition. My take is that if they get even 1/4 of what they are trying for in VA it'll be a serious blow to gun owners there. To dismiss them and say it's just rhetoric is just stupid, IMO...
