Seems that about half of you are missing the point. He has a gun range for god's sake, he isn't anti-gun, sounds like he is anti AK 47s. Some of you have already pointed out that it is no fun at all when you are concentrating on sighting in something at the range and the military style gun guys show up with three semi autos and 600 rounds. I have had to cut my range time short due to empty cases flying around me. Most of the black gun guys I've watched were not hunters at all, they liked the power and the noise. You are very likely not this type of shooter, but unfortunately, it seems a fair amount of the black gun shooters have alienated many of the serious shooters and real hunters with their lack of consideration and this might be what the range owner has had enough of-----I think also that this type of gun has been seen in the hands of the drug traffikers and terrorists often enough to have generated some bad press--
