Life is sometimes noisy and freedom is worth a little inconvenience.
At least, it is to me. Maybe you are willing to sell out for a lot less than I am.

(Part of) The answer is simple and should be obvious: When your bullets are landing on my property, your gun use is irresponsible.
If that is truly the case, I would agree with you on that. They should have sufficient property or means to avoid that eventuality.
The problem is that this could spawn regulations that go way beyond this issue, requiring very unreasonable requirements simply because some people don't want to hear gun shots nearby.
They could postulate that some “could” be using a high powered rifle with projectiles that “could” go a mile or two, and therefore you would be required to have that amount of property for example.
Be VERY careful where you are going with that logic (more like lack of it), if we use your standards, they'll come and take away your fireplace, your car, your gas grill, your lawnmower, etc. ad nauseum.
Newbie - that’s a good one!
Aren’t you using the word “Nazi”? I guess if your actions fit, then so does the definition.

Who’s “they”? The guys in the black helicopters? Look out everybody, they’re coming!!!!
Which neighbor? The guys exercising their property and RKBA Rights? Or those using a harassment lawsuit to curtail those Rights?
You said that they had no right to shoot into someone else's property. I simply corrected you -- they are NOT shooting into someone else's property. I'm not responsible for your lack of reading comprehension.
What is wrong that some of you have no regards for personal property rights?
What personal property rights are being violated? Unless there is a pre-existing noise ordinance that owners agreed to, there's no foul here.
All you have is a couple of people that moved into the neighborhood and decided they don't like the sound of gunfire (that preceded their arrival). If anyone's personal property rights are being violated, it's the guy that already had the range built.
Don’t you just love new neighbors who move in then decide tey don’t like what has gone on long before they got here and then try to change the rules.
How far do you think a 30/06 will travel? Would you ban hunting too? Damn little shooting takes place in this country that would be legal under your standard.
If you are afraid of guns you should move to a country where they are banned. Japan perhaps?
Yeah... Don't worry. I have you pegged correctly.
Noise doesn’t do any damage? Really? I guess I’ll have to let those Iraq war vets with the blown-out eardrums of that.
Thanks for setting me straight.
Sorry my friend, if someone lives in a subdivision and chooses to use their yard as a firing range then they should expect to piss off people with the noise alone. yea, they may have the right but they don't have the common sense that should be a requirement of that right.
As your or any other person's next door neighbor, I have the right to cut my grass right outside your bedroom window at 2:30 in the morning but it doesn't mean I should nor that I would.
The government, using logic like you do. It’s happening already. People like you have NO PROBLEM trampling others rights right up until that trampling effects you.
Nothing like pre-emptively surrendering to the gun grabbers.
Wow, you really are amazingly stupid.
I am a gun-grabber - I grab as many as possible for myself.
I don’t think you’re a DUmmy. But DUmmies do use the “N” word and various -ist words mighty quickly when the debates start. It’s a sign of a poor debater.
That dope head may have been here for a few years, but clearly doesn’t get it.
Run along now and go play with your toys.
