During the 2002 Winter Games in SLC and at various other important events at this and other cities since, authorities have set up areas called "Free Speech Zones" where protesters could legally gather in safe areas delineated by chain link fencing in order to exercise our 1st Amendment rights. In the same way, perhaps areas called "Free Fire Zones" could be set up for outdoor target shooters to legally gather, again within enclosures but in this case taller walls which bullets cannot penetrate, in order for us to exercise our 2nd Amendment rights.

Perhaps the N.R.A. and the Utah Shooting Sports people would care to donate.
