1. Yee-Haw!

[Archive Hunter]

2. That's murder

Plain and simple.

[NutmegYankee]

6. Manslaughter.

Murder requires intent to kill a person. While grossly reckless, firing into the air doesn’t meet the legal burden to prove intent to kill.

3. Guns are more important than human lives, apparently.

Certainly the NRA believes that.

7. Accurately expressed by the great 20th. Century orator, stateman and philosopher, "Joe the Plumber."

"Your dead kid doesn't trump my Constitutional right to own a gun."


So, there.

4. Next the half-wits will be firing into the air at weddings and shit. n/t

8. People around me set off firecrackers and fire bombs.

It was annoying, but no gunshots.

[VOX]

9. Guess they never heard "what goes up, must come down."

Let alone Newton's 3rd law of motion: every action has an opposite and equal reaction.

Not familiar with Texas.

[ManiacJoe]
