A major problem with guns - Lounge - Forums : Best Ever Albums

Kiki

I was thinking about this the other day. It's related to guns and the general usage of them.

They have been getting a lot of bad press lately. People are violent or the culture itself is violent, those are reasons which are thrown around. No one seems to be able to make a decision and all we are getting is constant arguing. However, something which is generally ignored is the way in which they are used. While most of the time they are used horizontally to the plain in which they are fired, there are countless times in which they have been fired vertically. Why is this a problem? Well bullets only stop when they hit something. If fired vertically, after a minute or few seconds they have reached a vast nothingness. From there they will just keep going. There are probably millions of bullets from World War 2 several light years away now.

And what will they hit? Or more importantly, who could they hit? What if by some miraculous chance one reaches a planet with intelligent life? What if they hit someone and kill them? They might have better forensics and are able to retrace the trajectory right back to our planet. What are we going to do then?

What if we shoot an alien?
