How stupid are people becoming People shotting at the spy balloon a round from any weapon a civilian would own is not going to reach 60,000 feet?

While there are several memes of people posing with guns pointing skyward (and one overhead pic of a couple throwing bottles upward), I've seen no valid reports of anyone shooting at it. It was over 11 miles high in the sky.

What are MAGA conspiracy theorists going to say was inside the Chinese Spy Balloon?

No, but someone on the ground could be killed by the falling bullet. There should be a mandatory gun safely course.

You believe what this guy is saying? Show me an incident where someone was shooting at the balloon.

[slatyb]

@KrakenAttackin that's a good point I hadn't heard it either. The fact remains that shooting into the air is somewhat dangerous. People have been killed by falling bullets.

There is no evidence it is a "spy balloon"

[KrakenAttackin]

Who is shooting at the balloon other than the U. S. military?

[driven159]

The dumb ones that the police and government has been telling people not to do there are so many dumb people like the ones that shoot in the air during 4th of July that the rounds come down somewhere.

[OddBeMe]

Um…several right wing Congress people suggested that too. Congresspeople…

Clearly, SOMEONE has never heard of Texas.
