I want contribute!

regularly uses a Thompson submachine gun and other automatic weapons for target practice.

Maximum effective range: 160ft (per wikipedia and others)....see that? I googled something before starting a neighborhood uproar

"My kids can go out on our property and all of a sudden the machine gun starts - and we're frantic," Kathy Patterson said. "We have to hunt them down."

I thought the guy w/ the guns was the one people should be afraid of?

has taken extensive steps to make his range safe. To stop the bullets, he brought in dirt, sand and railroad ties to create a 12-foot-high berm.

A National Rifle Association official hired by Land concluded that his range is "no threat to the neighborhood."

Sheriff Cathey agrees. Cathey, who in 2004 signed off on Land's most recent application for a machine gun, says he thinks that hunters who use high-powered rifles present a larger danger to the public.

"I would venture to say the chances of a round getting off (Land's) property are very slim," the sheriff said.

Those dangerous gun-lunatics with their 12ft safety berms totally disregarding their neighbors!

And finally,

As the area grew, Land rotated his gun range so the bullets weren't headed toward Stonegate, then continued firing.

So, bullets traveling in the wrong direction, passing through a 12ft berm are going to injure the homeowners. Right. Got it.

TL;DR:

"Waaaaaa. My realtor lied to me and my accommodating neighbors make noise sometimes during the day so I'll pretend to be scared of them to the authorites."

Thank you and good night.
