Testosterone laden boys with their big and dangerous toys

Shooters in National Parks! How terrifying! How will they know if there are bushwalkers in the area? Will we have monster sirens warning people not to enter because shooters are present?
Are the parks going to be locked up for the pleasure of amateur shooters? The logistics are mind numbing. Some of our parks are huge – people come and go at will without informing the authorities.
The numbskulls who worked out this policy seem to want to turn our national parks into quasi Hunger Games arenas. Will it take a fatality to turn around this ridiculous agreement fuelled by testosterone laden boys with their big and dangerous toys?
