Americans used to celebrate shooting guns into the air, too; then ... along came liberalism.

That is bull. I was raised on an Iowa farm where we had plenty of guns, but they were never fired in celebration. I now live in the central valley of California, starting about 10 years ago we must cower every New Year's Eve because of the guns shooting in the air. We are told it is just part of the culture of the people recently moved to the area

yes, same reason the cops in LA park under the fwy overpasses from 11:55pm to 00:25am on New Years Eve.

Oh? I was raised in NYC, you should have heard the guns go off on my block on VJ Day 1945. The neighbors woke us up at 4AM shooting their shotguns in the center of the street. It stopped when they ran out of ammo.
