FistingEnthusiast comments on ‘Who builds a ballpark next to a gun range?’: Coach injured by gunfire that crossed into baseball diamond

Who builds a range, especially in Texas, without knowing that 99.999% of the people using it are going to be stupid and reckless because they think their firearms compensate for all their many inadequacies?

Never been to a range where the Range Safety Officer (RSO) wouldn't rip your fucking head off for the slightest fuckery, kick you out, ban you for life, first offense.

And fuck you very much BTW. I enjoy learning ballistics first hand, the mechanics are at the edge of what my brain can handle, refurbishing crap guns pushes my restoration limits and knowledge, and it's just plain fun.

Also, my dick is 7.5". Nothing to write home about, but I haven't felt inadequate about that in life.

And yet I have, and in an area much less comfortable with guns. I’m even mostly anti-gun: it’s fun to target shoot and I should know how to handle firearms safely, but not worth the harm that free use of guns cause. Moreover most claimed uses for guns are bs.

But yeah, gun ranges have walls/berms/embankments so for normal uses a bullet won’t escape. But there is no ceiling, no way for the range to keep people out of all place a bullet can reach, and I saw no visible rangemaster that could stop some yahoo from blasting in the air.

Hell, even in the indoor range we were endangered by some idiot pointing a loaded weapon sideways at fellow shooters and the rangemaster didn’t even notice until I brought it to his attention. There’s always a bigger idiot and every part of the way we handle guns in the us ignores that
