I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people feel this same need for peace in their own backyards. This momentum belongs entirely to the residents who spoke up about their experiences. It is truly humbling to see that so many of you felt moved enough to put your name on this.

About time. It is super scary letting my kids play in the backyard when there are hunters so close by. Someone is gonna get hurt eventually if this doesnt change.

Living next to a field where people are constantly shooting is a nightmare. I should be able to sit on my own porch without hearing gunshots all day. Do something about this.
