Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it's freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

    I don’t know, we don’t want a shooting range next to a preschool or something. Zoning does some good.

      You mean like here in maryville, tn, where the new Smith and Wesson factory and test range shares a property line with Middlesettlements Elementary School?

      Nothing quite like kids hearing gunshots outside at school.

      And it wasn’t just “allowed” by zoning laws. The city basically did backflips to get the plant to move here. They even convinced the city of Alcoa to cede the land to the city of Maryville without telling Alcoa why they wanted it.

      Bunch of shady shit all around, but the whole county basically sucks Smith and Wesson’s dick now. They even had a big festival on the day the plant opened to celebrate it.

      Seems like a shooting range next to a school could be a deterrent.

      Hmmm, which school to shoot up? This one next to a bunch of folks with weapons and ammo within arms reach practicing marksmanship or any of these other ones without that?

      Wouldn’t a daycare/private preschool and a gun range both be the same light commercial zones?

      There might be regulation keeping you from owning a gun range near a school, but I don’t think zoning helps
