My neighborhood is not a war zone
As I read here in bed near Spotsylvania, long after dark and near 8:30 p.m., I hear a neighbor getting his jollies shooting a multi-fire weapon. This is not the first time. Every time increases my desire for reasonable gun reform in Virginia.
Where does the Second Amendment say that you have the right to shoot your guns off in my neighborhood?
Keep your beloved guns in your home. Fondle them if you must. Take them out to a shooting range when you need to feel powerful! Do not shoot them in my neighborhood near my house or grandkids!
And as for blowing up tannerite, there is no Second Amendment right to shake my house with your explosives. Maybe you can find an explosives range somewhere to get your jollies with an explosion, but please keep them out of my neighborhood .

maybe Mr. Henry could walk next door and ask is neighbor to turn down is TV when he is watching "TAKEN"
Mr. Henry might consider purchasing his neighbor a suppressor for each of the firearms that he finds objectionable. The neighbor could maintain his proficiency at safely operating his firearms, and Mr. Henry would find the activity less intrusive.
Win-win!
Mr. Henry should not have to make any such accomodation
Who said "have to?" I suggested a course of action that would help to satisfy both neighbors.
How is a "well regulated militia" going to maintain its good "regulation" if it can't fire off a few whenever it wants to?
Agreed. Now keep your multi-ton car off my street. You know, like the ones responsible for 100+ deaths per day in this country (https://tinyurl.com/yxr3gejq)
I would point out it is his/her neighborhood also. Rural areas are subject to hunters and shooters exercising their rights as zoning allows. Perhaps subdivision living would suit better if rural activities annoy you. Subdivisions offer restrictions on activities such as hunting and shooting.
