Did the pod people get to you or what? :) Different enterprises have different environmental impact, of course, whether your talking about shooting ranges or gas stations. Noise and pollutants are part of the price we pay for an industrialized society. Zoning is one way to manage risk, though it's not the only method to do so nor is it without any drawbacks. I don't intend to get in an argument about the efficacy of zoning laws, but I will comment that indoor ranges tend to have less noise and lead pollution than outdoor ranges because they're designed with controls in place.
