[QUOTE="-Pjackso, post: 4055669, member: 8119"] -If it's "endangering" to the general public, then there should be some guidelines to maintain safety. Yes? Banning backyard ranges should be the last resort. Shooting on a neighborhood 1/4 acre is dangerous. Shooting on a country 1/4 section is completely different. Hence the guidelines for safety. Ok, So if the people of Oklahoma buy guns - but there's only (3) gun ranges in the entire state. Now what? This is not a fair comparison and/or a very poor example. Theft of private property will always leave the victim in damage. [b]NOBODY[/b] is recommending allowing harm/damage to others - just because kids want to have fun. - Disclaimer: I'm not in the racing crowd and have no vested interest. But I do live within convenient driving distance to a drag-strip, so I have that option. - I think this subject is a easy knee-jerk reaction, with knee-jerk solutions. - I think these kids want to have fun with their cars. [B]I think these kids do NOT want to cause harm to others. I think if these kids had a designated area (local) - then most would accommodate the understanding.[/B] ...Like... Yep. Kids have always raced cars. I think there's room for some solutions. [/QUOTE]
