A nearby school has just finished construction and is planning to open next week. However, it’s already been struck multiple times by bullets escaping a shooting range a mile or so away. They’ve released notices telling people to avoid one side of the building due to the stray bullets and adjusted activities to the late evening when the range is closed.
After asking the range to improve it’s quality so that this doesn’t happen, the shooting range apparently told them to pound sand. Now there’s a big lawsuit trying to force this shooting range to actually stop the bullets being fired so they don’t kill children because they refuse to do anything.

Look, if you can’t keep the bullets inside your land, you either should have built bigger safety measures or you should have bought more land downrange so anything that goes over still lands on your property. You as the business owner and land owner are allowing people to fire weapons too powerful for the size of and safety measures on your land. Anything else renders land you don’t own completely unusable to its rightful owners for reasonable fear of death.
In this case, since the school is already there and they obviously can’t buy the land anymore, if they can’t fix it with safety measures, they shouldn’t be allowing any guns that can reach that far. Sucks for them as a business owner, but sometimes, such is the cost of not being proactive about the problems you and your business are causing. That’s them facing consequences for inadequate safety measures, not because of what particular type of building got built beyond the border. I don’t give a shit if it’s Peter Thiel’s new house, you have no legal or moral right to endanger people on land you don’t control so you can profit off your business.
