From the transcript
We are here again to keep alive our strong concerns about the borough reclassifying the Zero Lake parcel to allow for a future shooting range. Clearly, there's a shooting problem in the borough with more people owning and using guns. And limited developed sites to shoot safely. Unfortunately, the wheels turn so slowly that once a decision is made, people start to migrate to that spot, which is what's happening in Jonesville, which has become beyond dangerous because of the lack of a finished managed site. That would be the worst of the worst-case scenarios for the proposed Zero Lake site.
