The guy is extremely fortunate it wasn't a larger caliber.

Dumb thing shooting into the air no matter where you are.

But leave it to a 'rat politician to try and legislate common sense.

As a politician sometimes it takes getting shot in the head.
Now let’s hope that it was from an illegal invader..

[bobby.223]

It’s that darn .223 again.......

Probably from an Assault Rifle 15 (AR-15). (yeah, I know).

Micro-stamping bullet legislation coming to Texas in 3...2....1....

The guy is extremely fortunate it wasn't a larger caliber.

Or that it wasn't traveling faster.

Wouldn’t they already have a law about illegal discharge or some such?

[Dr. Sivana]

Wouldn’t they already have a law about illegal discharge or some such?

Maybe, but good luck proving it was an illegal who discharged it.

[Arthur McGowan]

Yeah. There should be no laws against bank robbery, because common sense should be enough to stop it.

[PROCON]

Your sarcasm becomes you, Arthur.

The point, of course, is that there are a multitude of laws already banning both illegal firearm discharges and robbing banks.

But common sense isn't so common anymore, unfortunately.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Yeah I meant to write “unlawful.” If you’re on the receiving end, it might be tough to find anyone who fired the shot!

[Dogbert41]

Its part of certain foreign cultures to do celebtatory gunfire. Arabs, Mexicans, African Americans. Education is the key, along with law enforcement and the media. There are already probably THOUSANDS of laws in place throughout America regatding the discharging of a firearm within city limits. Nothing else needs be done. Again, education and enforcement.

I was doing a roof inspection and found a 9 mm bullet embedded in the shingles.

I was doing a roof inspection and found a 9 mm bullet embedded in the shingles.

Then you appreciate the damage a 9mm can do...

Armando Martinez is a Democratic member of the Texas House of Representatives, serving since 2005.

So it’s no big deal.

Perhaps he should wear kevlar over his head, oh, and Depends.

[samiam5]

Um, I believe that’s ‘undocumented’ discharge. Let’s try to be sensitive here...

[backwoods-engineer]

Great! Then, you’re ready to stand against a wall while I shoot you with my Glock 19? It won’t hurt. Much.
