The recreation use from them is not worth the inevitable shootings. As the safety of the many come before the pleasure of the few. Not to mention the lead exposure on the environment from the bullet casings left on the ground and all the noise that's caused from all the firing disrupting the wildlife.

If you want to play with guns like toys go take a vacation down south.

The only people who should have access to guns are the military, special forces and hunters in remote areas without any food alternatives.

Hunting is also a large economic boon for remote communities where hunters will spend thousands on food, accomodations, fuel, ammo, etc just to attempt to shoot a moose up north where they got the ticket for.
