It's physically impossible unless you're trying to miss. Even then you have ricochets. Not buying it.

God came down from heaven and stopped those motherfuckin' bullets.

So if you could write the laws, what penalty would you assign to this convicted felon caught red-handed using a gun to commit another crime? http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2014/07/27/5071006/police-turn-up-heat-on-violent.html#.U9b46lZNDKg

I thought people felt safer knowing that there were guns around?

This is starting to get fucked up. Militarized police presence, journalist threatened, protests banned, news helicopters banned.
