I've sometimes thought that someone could go nuts in the gun range and start shooting people. I guess it could happen anywhere, but being able to rent a gun and buy ammo for it is a lot cheaper and easier than having to buy a gun. If it did happen there, I'm sure he wouldn't last very long :)

my BF and I have actually had this discussion about someone going nuts and trying to shoot it up at a gun range, and I think that would be just as effective a suicide mission as actually just putting the gun to your head, I firmly believe that within the first gun shot the person going nuts would be gunned down by at least 2-3 people in the place holdin.

It certainly seems to be the trend....take a few out before commiting suicide.

Same thing happened at the Bullet Trap in Plano a couple of years ago.

Guy comes in and rents a gun, goes out on the range and shoots himself 3 times!

He LIVED! He rented a .380 and had no idea where to shoot himself for immediate purpose.

Good lord! He should have just rented a machine gun...

TXI, stay strong my brother. Phil 4:13 seems to have done you well. I can't even begin to imagine what you had to go through.

Don't think for a solitary second that the Brady Bunch won't somehow bend this into some twisted ammunition in an attempt to use against us. Just ask Hitlery. Just remember that limiting a mag capacity to 8 would have prevented this senseless act of self-inflicting violence...pppffffttt.....
