Bad news, y'all. Turns out shooting a really loud firearm-- especially one with a brake-- in a confined space *hurts*. Who knew? Next they'll be trying to tell us that stove with the burner glowing red is too hot to touch.

Gibbons-Neff is a former Marine and should know all of this. That said, I was slightly impressed he got a quote from someone saying suppressors can help mitigate this damage, even if it was that weirdo Botkin.

If only there was a device that could help

NYT journalists must target shoot a lot, then.

When I look @ the mess and destruction left by many public land shooters, brain damage fits.

I have a suspicion you and I might be thinking of some of the same spots, but the article primarily focuses on indoor shooting ranges.
