to kick off.
They want to shut down every gun range in the state that isn’t owned by the government.
According to House Bill 567, any indoor shooting range would be
prohibited by law – UNLESS it was inside of a building owned or leased
by the state.
And any business owners who decided to defy the law could be facing
up to a $100,000 fine and potential additional civil penalties.
And the ones allowed to stay open will have to have complete records of whoever shoots there. Because that registration won't happen voluntarily.

“Is freedom more important than safety”?
Yes. Next question?
...
It’s part of a larger question: how can you guarantee that another person will place your interests first and not their own?
The answer people who clamor for safety over freedom don’t want to hear is: you can’t. The ones trusted with your safety, unless it is in their own interest otherwise, can decide to leave you to your fate at any time. History has shown that while some few will put the safety of those in their care even against their own self interest (parents looking out for their children might be an exception to “few” and even that is questionable in the larger scope of history) that’s a pretty long-shot bet. In the end, those you would entrust with your safety look out for themselves long before they look after you.
