Because when I went to High School in the 1970s, we had Army JROTC, sponsored and paid for by the US Army. AND we had a 50ft .22 INDOOR rifle range, RIGHT THERE IN THE SCHOOL. Not in some out of the way place, right there on the second floor next to the JROTC classroom. You could sit in JROTC class and little to them practicing the other side of the concrete wall.
Guess what, NO one was EVER injured. Ever. And when girls were allowed to join in my Sophomore year, the girls were better shots than the boys, including me.
And we got to drill with real M-14s that only had the firing pin removed. And the barrels weren't plugged. And I got to shoot said M-14s when I went to JROTC summer camp.
