Ben Avery Range

[Ken]

Nowadays it's getting more and more difficult to find a suitable place in this great country to go shoot. Many years ago, when most of these range facilities were established, they were out in the middle of nowhere. Due to urban sprawl, over development, and of course political correctness, many of the older remote shooting ranges have been closed down. This is an opportunity to save one of these ranges for future generations to enjoy. Believe it or not, shooting is a great family activity, teaches discipline, self confidence, is a great stress reliever and can be enjoyed by people from all walks of life. Remember this, you can enjoy an airport or a park just about anytime. It takes just a bit more effort to go out and enjoy a day of shooting.

Your vote needed today. No need to be an AZ resident to vote.
The Ben Avery Shooting Facility has been under attack for several years. There
are factions in the Phoenix area that are interested in shutting down the range.
The largest pressure is from developers that want to build in the area. One way
to help keep the range is to vote it a "Phoenix POINT OF PRIDE." So, please go
to the URL below and vote!

Isn't the bottom line to all of this MONEY. The city who wants to change zoning for that property wants the tax base. While I did vote on the site, I doubt that any effort of this type will have the desired effect. It takes voters at the polls to vote out these parasitic tax addicted politicians. They are like herion addicts but their "junk" is your money, or in this case your public land.
