I don't see how this is any big deal. First, most populated areas prohibit the discharge of weapons (my area does)and two have you ever been around the greater D.C. area. I hunt around Manassas Va. and there are people every where. I don't know how people live there. This only sounds sensible to me. I will agree that in my opinion issues like these should be left to individual responsibility. If you could depend on people to know where and when to shot, that would be best. To fight this may only reinforce the anti's position in the minds of the public. Those people are so packed in there that I think if you shot a bow and missed the target, there would be a better than 50% chance of hitting someone.
