How would you guys feel about ranges where you can rent some of the more eccentric guns/attachments, shoot them for a bit, turn them in, and leave? I think this is a decent compromise between the “they’re just fun to shoot” side, and the “nobody should own fully automatic rifles (or whatever else)” side.
There are a lot of these places around. Ironically, Las Vegas has several of the largest.
I’d still rather own my own, however. I can go rent a Ferrari, but man I’d rather have one in my garage.
