This facility needs to be shut down," wrote one mother on Facebook. "Who builds a youth baseball complex next to gun ranges? I am terrified."

Gun brain rot is real. I can’t imagine seeing this article and thinking it’s the baseball field that’s the problem. Fucking Texas.

Hang on now cause you sound like the asshole who builds a house behind the local airport and then tries to get it shut down for the noise, and I think you're smarter than that.

Mate, first don’t put words in my mouth. Airplane noise and LITERAL FUCKING BULLETS are not the same and you know it. Second, if you stand by your take you’re the asshole and clearly not “smarter than that.”

I expect a range to have complete control over the weaponry and ammunition used there. If they don’t, then they should be shut down.
