Submissive gun rights advocates need to lose their submissiveness before we lose our 2A rights.

Hummmm.... Lead contamination of the soil.
Good reason to shut it down PERMANENTLY!
Wonder when they will shut down lead mines around the country?

Well.... If we can't get it out of the ground anymore, doesn't that make ground water contamination a 100% certainty?

Or maybe it’s part of the DNR’s plan to improve the Pit.
From the DNR’s website...
Lapeer Shooting Pit at Lapeer State Game Area
This popular Lapeer County shooting spot is being considered for improvements. Currently there are no structures for shooters and no sound abatement, the facility is not ADA-accesible, and there are no restrooms of any kind available to the public.

My dad often told me to get the lead out. Now I see what he mean't.

I'll bet the same person will still call police to complain about gunfire.

I think one or two of them got slapped after making those calls, especially when the COs were sitting at the empty range when the calls were made. Originally Posted by aaron
