I would prefer not to have shooting and even more so, that no part of Australia goes down the gun culture mentality of, for example the USA. However whilst this issue of safety is a factor, I wonder if it really is that big. It seems to me to be curious that many of us would be happy to drive a long way to attend these places, yet show this concern. I would think the risk created by the driving there (or even through your suburb) or getting lost or killed or injured from any of many natural possibilities such as snake bite, falling tree branches, fire, etc. is greater than the risk of accidental shooting.
 
I also say again that sadly it seems to me that the elected politicians through a cynical trade off are doing what most of the people want (or perhaps more than the number that don't) in facilitating this shooting proposal.
