You think?

The headline says it all: Celebratory gunfire kills 3 in Baghdad. Wow. You'd think that people understand when the bullets go up, eventually they come down. Kills 3, wounds 50 others. *shakes head*

What we really need, is guns that fire at escape velocity. According to wikipedia, a .44 magnum has a velocity of 491 m/s. Escape velocity is 11.2 km/s. So, it would probable be pretty hard. But it's something to shoot for.

But I like your idea. That's what I call call shooting for the stars. :-D
