Florida gun owners encouraged to 'shoot the storm' and fire their guns at Hurricane I

[Z-Man]

Could be terrorists hiding in the storm, better safe than sorry.

well, i remember former stories about human behaviour at solar eclipses and they did the same dumb stuff. but at least they were under the impression the sun is swallowed and they need to do something against it.

Graphics suggesting how to shoot at a hurricane have sprung up online, with the suggestion that if you fire correctly the bullet might not come back and kill you.

So, if you do it incorrectly the bullets will come back and kill you - but if you do it correctly you might avoid that fate?

Seems like a good plan.

When in doubt fire weapons wildly into the air. Also run around in the street while doing it.

[LiiLoSNK]

This sums up florida pretty well.

[prwraith]

Why....just when people think florida can't get any worse :/

[Witchblade77]

Is it still a joke when the people actually show up with guns and shoot at the hurricane? Sounds like an event that's going as planned.

I... have no words. event was created as a joke. so far the only people i see taking it seriously are NOT floridians.

[rayvio]

I can see this being the next 'extreme' 'sport', shooting guns into natural disasters. erupting volcano? shoot the lava. tsunami? shoot the waves. earthquake? shoot the floor. plague? shoot the... bacteria? with maybe really tiny guns?

[GennGreymane]

Imma fire Kamehamehas at the storm

[Lazuli]

lmao legendary

They're doing it wrong. What you need to do is nuke it.

FL has stand your ground, right? They're basically doing their patriotic duty. Bear Arms for all!

Read somewhere that might actually work in weakening it, if not dissipating it entirely.

I kind of doubt it, though.

With a nuclear fallout as a side effect...
But thinking ahead is for pussies.

Pfffft, little fallout never hurt anybody.

[Flatspriest]

Bulletstorm: the literal one

They may hit a sharknado.

[truckboattruck]

and what exactly do gun owners in detroit or chicago say? theyre probably dead so its hard to find out

[Deathcries]

Like seriously...Shoot the storm? Can you imagine if actual aliens actually tried to make contact with us?

I remember once I have seen a TED talk by a Dutch general who pointed out how the state monopoly on violence reduced the occurrence of violent incidents in the world. I mean it's pretty obvious sweeping numbers of people shouldn't be trusted with a spork, let alone with a firearm.

and yet here we are. Millions of gun owners here in America.

[Doctor Amadeus]

Yeah let's not shoot into the hurricane and say we did, jeezus!

[Nerdgasm]

We shoot 'em all!
