Sadly, some of them do so after the consumption of "adult beverages". So please keep the following data in mind if you contemplate such a display of patriotism or are anywhere near someone who might contemplate such a display of patriotism: 1. A .30-caliber bullet will come out of the muzzle of a rifle traveling at about 2,700 feet per second. 2. The bullet will climb to an altitude of about two miles. 3. [This is important!] It WILL come back down to Earth and it will hit whatever it hits traveling at about 300 feet per second. 4. A bullet going 200 feet per second will penetrate your skull. 5. The entire round trip journey for that bullet will take about a minute. Happy - - and SAFE - - Fourth of July!
