Having tried to get the authorities to deal with a harassing neighbour even in a big city, that sounds extremely plausible.

The legal system is when you get to shoot at things that break the law

What's the other recourse? Unless you are rich, cops don't care.

Elect new leaders in your city who will change that. It’s not like that everywhere, and you’re playing in to the hand of the corrupt to pretend otherwise.

Playing in the hands of the corrupt to remind others of their innate, individualist rights to firearms to protect their lives and property when police aren't a trusted recourse?

Playing in the hands of the corrupt is to shame others for not relying on a fundamentally unreliable police force, in fact.

Guess we can all look forward to the first few cases of people dying from bullets falling after missing an Amazon drone. It's your right to fatally endanger everyone in a 2 mile radius of your house for a minor inconvenience after all.
