Would you fire Ar15's, machine guns, and shot guns feet away from a pet shelter and a Home Depot on Rt22 in Union NJ? Knowing that if you make one mistake, 3 towns, 4 schools, thousands of homes, and or 4 churches could be hit? This is like you firing a machine gun in your yard and telling your neighbor, don't worry I wont miss the dirt pile and hit you, your kids or your pet!

Homes hit already in Woodbridge NJ with many other accidents and deaths at defective ranges. Gun range accidents happen frequently. There are many safe nuisance free gun ranges but this is not one.

This nuisance occurs 7 days a week anytime from 7:30am until 8pm. Why does Union Mayor Cavadas and her Committee allow this noise and safety nuisance to continue? Please ask them to stop this.

Many NRA approved ranges are built with safety and noise abatement features, Union's range is not one of them and is a safety danger and noise nuisance. The County Gene Mirabella Range in Springfield is a safe range. A brand new gun range on Rt22 at the old pet smart is a state of the art range. Unions range is ridiculous, NRA rules violated, NJ Police Training Commission rules violated. Police Unions should demand action to protect themselves and the community who support them.

Pets and People in our communities are suffering in schools, churches and our homes. The welfare and safety for the general public in Kenilworth, Cranford and Union are unfairly burdened by this nuisance.

You could be killed anywhere in Union, Kenilworth or Cranford by accidental gunfire. Inches separate the line between life and death at this range. The AR15's, machine guns and high powered weapons are overwhelming. We need this stopped.

We ask that Union enclose the range or relocate, to cease the noise and or safety nuisance.

Why do our children have to grow up listening to gunfire like a war zone or possibly be accidentally shot while at home or in school?

Union allows many others from far away to use the range here. For example, they allow Port Authority to send people from NY, so we can suffer this nuisance and dangers? Shooting up until 8pm on school nights? Port Authority is a billion dollar agency and they rely on a dangerous rinky dink range in Union?

We have filed a lawsuit seeking relief. Your support can help stop this. This nuisance will only get worse as Union allows more and more use the unsafe range. Your heatlh, safety, and or property value could all be at risk. Please help us demand Union to take remedial action. To abate this nuisance which effects many. Please help stop the pets and children from suffering. We are all entitled to peace, quiet and enjoyment of our homes, schools and towns.

We support the police. Union must still consider our health and welfare and we need your help.

God Bless You and God Bless America

I rescued my dog from union shelter and she's very skittish. I couldn't believe the range is right there! Sweet babies.

The animals in a shelter situation are scared to begin with. The noise of the guns going off is terrible for them and it doesn't make it any easier for them to get homes if they are terrified while in a cage.

I ducked and covered in the Home Depot parking lot not knowing what that was. It is too close to people. Something should change.

Shut down the shooting range!! I live on the other side of town and the gun noise is annoying and loud. It is inhumane for those animals at the shelter to be subjected to extremely loud gun noise on a regular basis. Why would anyone put a shooting range next door to an animal shelter!!! Really bad planning.

I believe we need a gun range. I just think there is a better place for it other than next to an animal shelter and a walking/jogging path.

This is a huge nuuisance and horrible to listen to over the past few years. It has not been active until the last few years. Scarier than ever to be on the bike trail behind it. I hear this every single morning and many evenings.
