Close to my house we have an outdoor shooting range. I remember the first time I went, I was a bit freaked out with people shooting in the open, standing right beside one another. Basically no barriers exist and any madman could open fire, yet this has never happened. Because as I've said numerous times in the comments, the majority of gun owners in America are responsible and take firearm safety seriously. Plus, a range is the worst possible place for a maniac to attempt a criminal shooting spree. Everyone around him or her is armed and it would be the equivalent of a suicide mission, as the culprit would be instantly shot. No doubt about it.
