Colbert Shows Just How Backward Florida Gun Laws Are

Worst neighbor in the suburbs.

I was going to dismiss this as partisan bias, not particularly relevant to the video.
But after thinking about it, your 100% right. On this issue he has most certainly demonstrated he is completely impotent and incapable or unwilling to do much of anything. As a liberal i would describe him exactly that way.

Obama...how liberals spell 'inept'.

Definite failure of legislation here. Surely the law cannot state that you are allowed to discharge a gun on private property *anywhere* in the state of Florida? That would be retarded. Does a condo in Miami count? Someone's backyard with a lovely view of an elementary school?

Generally in saner lands there are city or county ordinances about such things, why isn't this the case here?

Interestingly, in this video at least, he was firing a .22lr Ruger MkII, about as low powered a pistol as you can get. .22lr has a hard time going through inch thick plywood (when fired from a pistol). This is different than the alleged .357 magnum, .38 special, and .380 ACP the random lady was calling out.

The gun range guy is incorrect. Some people always get on target with static shooting. Those destroyed walls in his range will (in my experience) be from beginners. Even then, there are degrees of off target. You can miss significantly to the sides of most targets and still safely hit the backstop. You have to be shooting incredibly wide or high to miss the backstop.

Noise is a big issue here. Suppressors are legal in Florida with the right permit - he should get them for all his firearms.

Safety is an issue as well, if the entire wall area he firing into is not thick enough to stop his strongest firearm then there is serious risk of injuring someone else. He should build a mini steel and concrete reinforced range.

Fuel tanks don't automatically explode. MythBusters did this in two episodes, and you need a tracer round fired from a long distance to ignite a tank's fuel.

Regardless of the legalities or not, if his neighbours are scared and annoyed, (and regardless of whether or not it is a rational fear), he should be considerate of his neighbours and their concerns and do more to alleviate their concerns.
