Scooter, you didn't read the posts. There is documented proof that people have died from falling bullets? Unless you are a person who refuses to admit when they are incorrect, I don't know what else you need. Did you not read the posts?
edit: I'm anything but anti-gun btw, I carry concealed and have a gun in all my vehicles (3) (no kids)
This is from the sites listed as proof ...
Celebratory bullets fired by Iraqis into sky coming down on U.S. troops

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Army Spc. Christiansen Cory was talking with another soldier when he felt something smack his forearm.
“We were standing around and heard a pssssst,” he said. “It felt just like a big rock had been thrown at me.”
But when Cory looked down, he discovered it wasn’t a rock that hit him. At his feet was a bullet from a Kalashnikov rifle. It was still warm.
The round likely came from an Iraqi who fired it into the air in celebration of a wedding, the birth of a child, or, for nothing in particular.
Every day, sometimes several times an hour, an Iraqi somewhere in the capital is shooting his rifle into the sky because he is happy about something. It is Iraqis’ version of a party noisemaker.
The only problem is, what goes up must come down. And sometimes the bullets they fire into the air fall and hit people.
Cory, a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, was lucky. The bullet left only a welt that disappeared in a few days.
But for another soldier, a similar incident proved deadly.
Spc. James I. Lambert III, 22, of Raleigh, N.C. — assigned to the 1st Armored Division — was killed on July 31 in Baghdad when a stray bullet fired by a celebrating Iraqi struck him.
Lambert was standing outside around 7:30 p.m. when fate and the bullet suddenly hit him square in the head. He was evacuated to the 28th Combat Support Hospital where he later died of the wound, the Army reported.
I would like to know what kind of round hit him, a .50BMG round weights 750 gr. not the kind of thing you see everyday. I spoke of shoulder and hand weapons the kind most likely see fired in the air for a party.
and from the other proof
On Jan. 1, 1997, a pregnant Tucson woman was struck in the abdomen by a falling bullet. Both she and her baby survived.
Please show me the all the deaths, I never claimed it would not hurt and I said never say never.
Yes I can read, please do the same
