Exactly. We don't behave like that in this country.
If only that were true. I stopped counting after 30 shots in about a 15 minute period in my area.
At least not stupidly. I've done it on the 4th of July, from my front yard.... HOWEVER, it was a shotgun and there were no houses, dwellings or buildings for around a mile in the direction I was firing. I lived right on the edge of a small town, with nothing but farmland in the direction I was shooting.
I wished I had a blank firing adapter for my SKS, and a pot full of blanks, because I'd have thought about doing it when old Saddam dropped through the floor.
But no way would I fire a 7.62 round into the air in some random direction, in a built up area.
