Apparently you have no faith in the free market system, a scarcity of available ranges will drive up the cost of range time leading to entrepreneur building more (and better) ranges thereby eliminating the scarcity which will in turn drive down the cost of range time.

Perhaps we can get an explanation of how someone becomes well regulated without a weapon to train with. Not to mention the fact that you forgot the second half of the Second Amendment, The right of the people to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.. Don't forget that pesky comma between "State" and "the".
Shall not be infringed would mean things like unnecessary burdens placed on the citizens to be able to keep and bear arms. Nowhere in the US Constitution is there a requirement to have 8 hours of training to own a firearm. Should we say you can only post on the Internet if you only have passed a class on political correctness so that you don't offend someone?
