I live in a poor neighborhood in Texas. It sounds like several Pakistani weddings got into a fight outside. Lot of negligent gunfire going on where you live? Tell me about it! I'm bored.

If you wanted to murder someone now would be a good time I guess.

Loud enough that my ancient great dane needed the tv to be on very loud to fall asleep comfortably. I think the neighbors installed proper firework tubes. E: Still going on. blasting music, too. It's 1:40 am. Come on y'all. Fluffy Bunnies fucked around with this message at 07:40 on Jan 1, 2021 |

I think what makes it more irritating this year is that it's just too sporadic. In 2016 they were organized. 12:00:00, and all those motherfuckers let loose. It was impressive. Every dog in the neighborhood lost their poo poo. Tonight I swear it's the same 20 frustrated chuds sullenly reloading in between mag dumps. It's 20 after, and they're still going.

NYE is the one time I can be almost certain that there won't be firearms discharged around here.

I don't have a gun so i tried to kill the air with a shovel. I did hit it but not much happened. Need to work on my technique.

There were some fireworks in Baltimore. Nothing else where I am. Edit: Justin Fenton has nothing new, which is a good measure for here. gleebster fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Jan 1, 2021 |

Have you considered firing a gun into the air to scare away the criminals, op?

Hold on, do people actually shoot guns into the air on New Year's Eve or is this a joke that fireworks sound like gunfire?

I think it's wild the people that say poo poo like "I don't want America to be like the middle east" will spend hundreds of dollars to make a whole night of war noise for those of us with real PTSD.

There's been like 10 gun murders in the local underworld war at a town 50km from here, which hardly had been noticed by the media.

I think that the local availability of fireworks cuts down on the firearms usage. much cheaper and more visually interesting. people are constantly firing guns around here, but not generally for purposes of murder or accidental murder

Shadow0 posted:Hold on, do people actually shoot guns into the air on New Year's Eve or is this a joke that fireworks sound like gunfire? Actual gun fire on new years is somewhat traditional yeah. I mean, fireworks is more common but going out into a field and tossing beer cans into the air to blast wouldn't get you a second look.

In the olden days we would shoot guns into the sky on easter and/or Walpurgis night to shoot down all the witches flying about but apparently americans do it for fun and in the current year

Wouldn't it be cheaper to use blanks if you're literally just firing wildly into the air to make noise?

If you can't wantonly murder someone with a falling bullet what's even the point of shooting a gun. They crave blood y'know

My family grew up on an apple orchard forever ago and we came into possession of a whole bunch of 12 gauge flares to help with deer. They are bright red and make noise, don't go too far into the wild blue yonder, and are a great compromise between wanting fireworks and loud gun noises. I'll be sad when they are gone since i'm not sure where you could get more, and even if they do still exist i doubt they are cheap.

Growing up we had a strict rule about staying inside after 10:30 on NYE because of our dipshit redneck neighbors shooting their stupid guns in the air. We'd hear the bullets bounce off the roof randomly all night, mostly shotgun pellets and poo poo. Now where I live I can't tell if it's gunshots or fireworks, so movin on up!

And we are certain that a gun crime is incoming? I can't even imagine horses hoarding guns and ammunition, much less fortifying a small compound.
