I guess I just dont get it according to the MAN. I didnt know the desert had operating hours.
QUOTE" You just don't get that having MORE shooters makes us more influencial. 47% of Clark County owns guns and had no public place to shoot. The desert was closed. A hour wait at the public range shows how many people use it. The county management didn't want to have the range, the PUBLIC demanded it. If you had your way there would be no public range and the county would be happy not having a range to deal with. We need more shooters, more shooters means more people concerned about their rights, more people concerned means more pressure to change the laws, more pressure means the laws will get changed. Pretty simple to me.
Anyways, for the rest of the members, we are having our first annual meeting at the Clark County Shooting Complex. We have a very critical legislative year, so please stay connected, sharpen your pencils (power up your keyboards) and let's make a difference with out gun laws this year!"
Unfortunately Don does not understand that it is not the number of people who shoot firearms that really count. It is the number of them who raise their voice. NVFAC can't speak for all firearms owners, only those who are members. Things like supporting Clark County by utilizing its shooting park keeps people from joining. Further, money talks, loudly. If the park is failing, and the county has to continually dump millions into it, people, not just shooters, are going to call them on the carpet for it.
People own firearms for many reasons and I'm guessing that only a small percentage even shoot on any kind of a regular basis. Of those that do, only a very small percentage would utilize that range even without issues being involved. The need for the NVFAC to support Clark County in order to grow really is a non-issue. We don't need them, they need us.
For those of you up in the big end who are wondering why this issue would be important to you, consider this. If we don’t find a way to stand together, the question of whether we can repeal the Clark County registration is moot. We are going to be damn lucky if we can prevent the state from imposing it on every other part of Nevada.
