Difficult to open a commercial or a private range open to the public unless you can find the perfect spot in a remote area.  Doable for your own private range.

Besides what you mentioned, noise complaints, zoning, large downrange impact area, environmental impact, costly lead removal, etc.

In China the opposite happened and divorce rates went through the roof.

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette has been the lead sponsor on a federal ban on high-capacity
ammunition magazines in two Congresses, saying it’s one of her top priorities.
:
Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing
gun violence, DeGette said:

“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know they’re
going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines
is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t
be any more available.”

"Given the fact the US is leading the rest of the nations in developing new tests for the disease that only take 5 minutes versus 5 hours, has exceeded all nations in number of people tested, and have already tested and approved the use of chloroquine phosphate to reduce the severity of the disease in those who test positive, it's a shame you don't get that the system you think is broken remains the one the rest of the world is turning to for hope."

First, it  is too early to tell how effective the new tests and treatments will be.  Second, the rest of the World is not waiting for America to do anything, but are trying to tackle things on their own.  Third, those nations that are waiting for the US are those who do not have the resources to anything at all.  Do you think really Spain and Italy are simply counting the dead or dying and waiting for the US to help them?  If anything, it is Russia and China that's been helping Europe recently.

Show me where I said anyone is waiting.  I said they are looking to the US and our health professionals for hope, because they have not had any breakthroughs yet.  We piggybacked on their work to approve antimalarials for treatment.  Just stop putting words in my "keyboard" I never typed.

"If China had not lied about the virus in the beginning, maybe a few more weeks to a month to prepare would have made the difference.  When they say, "Nobody saw this coming," it was half right.  Nobody who could have used the time to prepare saw this coming because the Communist Chinese gov't was not transparent about the severity or human-to-human transmission.  Had that been known, we'd have reacted more quickly."

I don't think China intentionally lied about anything.  If they are guilty, they are guilty of not reporting fast enough; but this may be because they, themselves, did not know what they were up against, until it was way too late for even them.

Well, then you'd be wrong.

"It's not the US healthcare system that's a problem.  Trump is leaning on those companies to fight this thing, because the gov't doesn't have the top scientists and resources to do that to the same degree."

Do try to defend the incompetence of the CDC and the greed of many medical centers for their ill-preparedness.  Domestically, the US healthcare system IS directly responsible for this catastrophe. Is it not their job to have been contemplating and preparing for this kind of pandemic?

As for not having the top scientists and resources like you mentioned, maybe America's budget needs to cut back on things like its military spending and divert those funds to higher education and public health.

 

I forgot to add that my mask will be with a tigerstripe camo pattern!
