Catching up on some reading (of the radar screen of issues) since Nov/Dec has been so extra busy!
Regarding barring shooters from 245 million acres of "BLM" land.....

So, "shooters" are as safe, or safer than other land users.
<sarcasm on> So let's boot the safe ones, and coddle the unsafe users <sarcasm off>
"Social conflict"? You bet. An agenda of creating a social conflict antagonistic to the shooting public.
As the late Roger Nelson is well known for teaching his skydiving students: "knowledge dispels fear" Of course the converse, promulgated by the lamestream media, also has its affect: "ignorance breeds fear".
Myself, when I hear shooting on public land, it is either:
1)Myself, target shooting, or hunting, and therefore very blessed and happy to hear that music ringing out.
2)Hearing others target shooting or hunting, and therefore very blessed and happy to hear that others are enjoying that freedom and music ringing out!
Why freak out, when you can join in?!
Knowledge dispels fear.
