Law Enforcement Warns People In Florida Not To Shoot At Hurricane Irma

Police are warning people in Florida not to shoot at Hurricane Irma because the bullets won’t make the hurricane turn around, but bullets could kill you.

After a bored and stressed 22-year-old started a Facebook event for people to sign up to shoot at the hurricane, some people took the joke seriously, which inspired law enforcement to tweet out a warning urging people not to shoot at Irma:

There is no “weak point” that a person can fire a bullet into a hurricane, and not have the bullet come back.

Anti-gun organizations also put out a warning about the dangers of shooting at hurricanes:

The lesson here is that bullets don’t stop the weather, and if you are dumb enough to try to stand your ground against a hurricane, you may end up shooting yourself. The next time somebody tries to rant about their second amendment rights, keep in mind that there is at least a 50/50 chance that the “constitutional expert” that you’re listening to might not be smart enough to know not to fire bullets into a hurricane.
