Current Events > Everyone around my town is shooting guns as the ball dropped

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sounds like a fucking warzone. I'm just waiting for a bullet to come zipping through my window so I don't have to witness the tragedies of 2022

I have another hour until that happens.

detroiters really love shooting their guns off at midnight - it's gonna go pretty heavy another 15 minutes or so then trail off by 1

Smells like a combat zone all of a sudden lol

Pop pop pop

Kids jingling cans

People screaming

Fun fact: 5% of the gunshots you hear are people using the opportunity to kill someone because nobody would pay attention to yet another gunshot

I bet it's super loud there. Dying down now. I'm hoping they were shooting up like Yosemite Sam and didn't damage anything

You mean fireworks, right?

Everyone is shooting guns and your balls dropped?

I don't think so. Aerial fireworks are illegal in my state and you can't find firecrackers around here until the 4th of July. We mostly have sparklers. Sounded like people capping

I just blew off some fireworks.

Saved some moon travelers and a saturn artillery from xmas.

It's raining pretty hard now so I imagine people won't bother with fireworks and go straight to the assault rifles when it hits 12.

there

that's a little better now

One of my neighbors had a firework hit their house a bit ago. Knocked off a good chunk of siding. Woo! 'MURICA!

Know that feeling TC. Most people are goddamn animals. In my hood someone is literally fighting with someone another guy who is constantly talking shit and another is running around with his drunk gf yelling "IT'S LIT MOTHAFUCKAS! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!". Old ass drunks and druggies that never mentally moved beyond their teens. I get being happy but it's another fucking day.... calm down people.

It was really foggy here lol

There was some noise but it died down fast

I live on the edge of Auburn Hills near Pontiac and I'm pretty sure I'm hearing a lot of gunshots

Where are you guys?

Takes a special kind of stupid to think that mass firing guns is a good way to celebrate... anything.

Bullets do eventually come back down. Granted, it probably won't be the same as their initial velocity, but they can still be a problem.

so americans basically

I live out in the middle of nowhere. The other day I heard some loud noises and was initially concerned because I didn't know what it was. Once I went outside and realized it was just someone shooting, I felt more comfortable. Nothing wrong with someone just doing a little target shooting or sighting in their gun.

I was thinking of going to GLC this weekend to see if FYE had any overpriced anime.

They are like a honey hole of being able to find something rare and obscure, but you still pay out the ass for it.
