So I was thinking today /k/, a shit load of people are already celebrating 4th of July with fuckhuge fireworks and shit. My question is, does all the fire crackers increase gun related crimes? To normies firecrackers sound like firearms and vice versa. So do criminals ever say "hey theres a shit load of loud fireworks, if we shot someone, everyone would think its fire works" is there any stastics or studies on this? Thoughts?

i don't think criminals commit murders using fireworks as cover much, however people shooting into the air in celebration is occasionally lethal...

> Shooting into the air is lethal
When will this meme die? It has been proven time and time again that there isn't enough terminal velocity in a bullet coming down from a free fall to kill anyone.

because it's happened, repeatedly.

This is true if you shoot into the air at a perfect right angle, which nobody does. People shooting into the air in an arc does kill people.
Stop shooting into the air you dumb fuck.

>A study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 80% of celebratory gunfire-related injuries are to the head, feet, and shoulders.[4] In Puerto Rico, about two people die and about 25 more are injured each year from celebratory gunfire on New Year's Eve, the CDC says.[5] Between the years 1985 and 1992, doctors at the King/Drew Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, treated some 118 people for random falling-bullet injuries. Thirty-eight of them died.[6]

This is when you shoot into the fucking skyline, shooting straight up is safe, shooting in an arc is completely idiotic.

Go take an elementary level physics course.
This shit is covered in junior high and had been exhaustively researched.
