As most know, I am in MA and this state has some of the strictest gun laws around. That doesn't seem to stop the crazy nut POS's around me!
There seem to be 2 or 3 separate parties shooting regularly, 1 doing so obscessively, and it feels like being in a war zone! It makes me briefly have violent thoughts or wish someone else would "take action".
It started 2 or so years ago as someone just shooting a shotgun a few times during the day during non-hunting season, on a street south of me. Then it got more frequent and was even done after 11 PM and came from different spots like someone was driving around shooting out their window!
Then someone or 2 parties started shooting to the north and west of my place. Someone has shot occasionally for about a year, but did so sensibly and was not a problem.
Then there was this guy to the north of me, who spent the whole summer and a good part of the fall clear cutting a large area behind me and raping and pillaging the land removing stone walls and lumber and selling them. Annoyed and pissed me the fuck off, but nothing I could do!
That chainsaw guy is a known sportsman and unstable heavy alcoholic. He would often take long pauses when I did not know whether he was there or not. One such time, I shot once with a shotgun. A week later, my brother went up to see if he was cutting trees on our land. He was in a rage saying someone shot at him ( that shot was nowhere near him) and he claims he told the cops (I doubt it, as it is a near certainty he had plenty of problems with the law). He said he was seriously considering coming back with an AK47 and use it. My bro explained no one was shooting at him and just at bird feeder pests. Then the guy got friendly and they shot the shit for a while.
Then, one morning, maybe a month ago (?) someone was shooting for like 4 hours straight with only pauses to reload. Loud cannon blast-like shotguns just behind my place, with occasional hand gun fire and even a few rounds of automatic fire. Cops came racing up the road with lights and sirens blazing. We checked it out.
There is a dirt road behind us. The first house is where this violent abusive alcoholic religious cult fanatic lived with his abused wife and several crazed kids (one of which now lives there with wife and kids and with a provocative POS son in law), in a small shitty trailer. For the longest time, he was the only house on that road. There are at least 3 other houses now, and on the other end of the road is where that clearcutter nut has his parcel.
So that first time the 4 cops came, they were at one house on that road that is all fenced in with a tall fence and childrens swing sets and all.
In today's mass shooting event, I went and drove by and had to move over to let a waving cop pass, who went to that first house that once had the shitty trailer. I drove a little and came back and saw him there and I came up my hill and there was still shooting, either while the cop was still there or just as soon as he left. This is getting rather old fast and may make me even more nuts!
I am all for the right to bear arms and target shoot or hunt. But, this goes way beyond any sane level, hundreds if not thousands of rounds! I don't know how they can afford it! When I target shoot or any other shooting, I take only a few shots at a time, maybe a second round of a few more, and stop. I don't rapid-fire shoot 6 shots and keep reloading and doing the same for hours like these nuts, whose only intent seems to be to annoy or provoke. Some of these shots seem to make a whooshing sound like they just barely miss the house. (they finally seem to have stopped after 2+ hours straight) What can be done?

so far it sounds like the pain is a one way street.
