"Without taking responsibility now, and without demonstrating that we are good stewards of the public places where we pursue our passions, future shooters may lose access to those places."
"If you leave your shooting trash behind, you tacitly imply that you expect someone else to clean up your mess. You expect some BLM or Forest Service ranger, cop or volunteer to come along and pick up the broken glass, the shredded computer tower, the perforated truck door, the shotgun-blasted oil jugs and soda bottles — for crying out loud, the dirty underwear that you’ve shot full of holes! You imply that because the place you shoot is public, the responsibility to look after it falls on the public, too. Yet somehow you, who just blew the heck out of various objects that splatter rubbish across the hillside, are above cleaning up after yourself."
