If the sun
If everything seems gloomy and dark in your life
Ain't shinin bright
If you're not feeling positive or optimistic
And the moon the moon
Even the soothing presence of the moon doesn't comfort you
Won't shine for you tonight
You can't find any peace in anything around you
If thr stars in the sky gone away
Even the things that make you happy are not around
And you feel
When you sense that
Feelin real slow down today
Day-by-day your mood keeps getting low
If life gets hard to understand
When it becomes tough to make sense of things around you
And the whole thing is getting out of hand
When everything is going haywire and you're losing control
Come to Poppa
Come to me, I'm here to help you out
Come see your poppa

I'm here to make you happy and contented in any way I can
If you feel
When you sense that
Like a horse
Like a steed, restless and uncontrollable
Blazin' at the bit
Too eager to jump the gun, not waiting for anyone
Call my number
You know my digits, don't hesitate to reach out to me
Anytime night or day
I'm always available for you, even in the middle of the night
I'll get ya fixed
I'll help you calm down and find your peace
If life gets hard to understand
When things become too difficult to comprehend
And your whole life is way out of hand
When everything feels too chaotic and disoriented
Come to Poppa
As always, I'm here for you
Come see your poppa
You can find solace and comfort in my presence

0:54 bullets are designed to be fairly aerodynamic, in the direction they were fired.
Bullets spin, some over 200,000 rpms, and spinning objects resist rotation. The bullet doesn't reach its apex, rotate, and then come back down still pointing the direction of travel. The rotation stabilizes it in the direction the gun was facing when it was fired. It stays pointing that direction the whole arc. So when it begins coming back down, it's actually meeting more air resistance.
Also, terminal velocity is kind of a thing, and the terminal velocity of a bullet is not going to kill anyone. That said, obviously a billed fired at any angle lower than 90 degrees straight up will still have some lateral velocity too, from the angle it was fired at, but... well... let's put it this way... the lateral movement of a bullet would be its velocity in the direction parallel to the ground, and that is going to be a percentage of its maximum velocity based on the percentage the angle was pointed up from 0 degrees on the vertical plane. So in other words 0 degrees is 100% lateral velocity, 90 degrees is 0%, and 45 degrees is 50%. But we also have to subtract drag from air resistance which increases with the distance traveled.
Now, I have already done pretty much all the math. Now, anyone shooting up in the air it is pretty safe to assume they are likely doing so at an angle greater than 60 degrees. Now, automatically, that means about 2/3 of their lateral momentum is gone. As for factoring in distance traveled, as it was stated, rounds shot into the air can often travel up to 2 miles, but that's not actually the total distance they traveled because they took an arched trajectory, meaning they actually traveled a bit further because of the indirect path.
Now, the typical 9mm round is designed for shooting up to about 50 meters, a really good shot might stretch it out up to 100 meters, but this is largely a limitation of sighting on pistols. The actual lethal range if you got struck by a 9mm round is about 1/2 mile. But such a shot would be an absolute fluke, and that is still if the bullet is fired at about the lowest angle that can achieve that range given the terrain, which is much lower than 60 degrees.
So, honestly, I don't really see a reasonable situation where these bullets will kill someone, not unless you got some idiot firing at remarkably low angles that barely justify calling it shooting into the air.
Now, a bullet is very dense, but really it doesn't have that much mass, they operate almost entirely off their velocity for their damage potential. So its terminal velocity is unimpressive when it comes to actually being able to hurt someone. It's not going to be lethal, but it's also not going to just not hurt either. You are still looking at some decent blunt force on impact, like if someone threw a rock at you.
So, probably not the best of ideas, but no, you aren't going to kill anyone.
Now, there are safe ways to do this, entirely safe, mind you. You can use blanks, just you know, bear in mind don't act stupid with the blacks, just cause their is no projectile doesn't mean hot high pressure gas can't hurt someone at close range, but no projectile means nothing to come back down. There are also rounds that fire shot comprised of small pellets I stead of a solid bullet, these should be completely harmless because each individual pellet has very little mass at all and won't carry much energy. A pistol like the Taurus Judge which fires 410 shotgun shells ought to be just fine especially with bird shot as should any shotgun firing bird shot because bird shot is literally designed to be fired safely into the air.

This is actually a fairly good question - I'll do my best to cover the bases when answering:
First, we need to define a bullet. Do you mean a conventional piece of metal propelled by rapidly expanding gasses? Or do you mean "is it possible to chuck something into space, and will it be able to hit the moon?"
Let's consider some of the things this "bullet" would have to endure: When you fire it, it would need to be capable of accelerating to a VERY high speed - also known as the escape velocity (of earth). This is the minimum speed needed to escape the gravitational pull of earth. This is around 11km/s! Nearly 40.000km/h! This is roughly 7 times faster than the fastest bullets commonly fired.
You also need to make sure the material this "bullet" is made from can withstand accelerating to such a speed within the lenght of the barrel of the gun - my guess here is that if you attempt to do this within, say, 50cm, any known materials would simply disintegrate, turn into some sort of plasma or something really cool and destructive.
Also, to ensure such high acceleration, you'd need to be able to contain the VERY(!) rapidly expanding gasses in a chamber that can withstand these pressures. This would also be hard - but not unfeasible.
These problems could be overcome by either attaching the propellant to the bullet itself, thus creating a rocket (but then it's not really a bullet anymore, is it?), or by lauching it without gasses, but with magnetism, rails guns/coil guns and so on. Let's assume this is the method we decide on.
We build a bloody long and powerful electromagnetic gun, point it at to moon, load it up with a bullet made of magnetic material and fire. What happens?
As the bullet moves through the atmosphere of the earth, it creates friction with the air surrounding it - and since it's moving VERY fast, it creates a LOT of friction. This would burn the bullet to ash unless it was either VERY big (then it would just burn the bullet into a somewhat smaller bullet, but this would require massive amounts of energy to launch...) or you would need to coat the magnetic core of the bullet with something that can withstand immense heat and is able to insulate. Ceramics or some application of aerogel would be good ideas.
Allright then: We have a rail/coil/whatever-gun pointed a the moon and a insulated magnetic bullet. We fire. The bullet escapes the earth and flies towards the moon. But misses, even though we pointed the gun exactly at the moon. Why did we miss?
Because, even at these speeds, it would take the bullet roughly 10 hours (not counting the effects on speed of gravity from earth or moon) to reach the moon. So you'd basically need to shoot 10 hours before the moon enters the sights of your gun. This is called "leading" and is need in order to hit moving targets.
If you do all this, then yes, you can shoot the moon.
Disclaimer: This is all VERY not-exact math. I know.

When I was a kid I had a fiberglass bow and steel arrows; and one day we tried shooting arrows straight up. It was just fun until I lost track of where it was - and it suddenly landed next to me; the fletching literally brushing past my fingers before embedding itself a good 15 cm into the ground. ... That's when I realized that shooting anything straight up is dangerous.
Lloyd x
What were your parents thinking? Lol
James Fowley
+Stein Gauslaa Strindhaug We did that too.
Francisco Rodriguez
Thats because arrows are made to be aerodynamic thats why it dug so deep intonthe ground because it was flying true, but if you did that with a firearms the bullet wouldnt come back dow nearly as lethal, it'd be like dropping a penny from the empire state building
Trav C-137
+The Desert Doge see that's what I thought but this lady is saying it will land a lethal blow. fuck now I gotta try it
Arsalan Ahmed
+Randy Scrambob
these stray bullets can be dangerous and I have heard of a person who was injured due to this and even one or two times bullets landed beside me and luckily 3 to 4 feet away....
Murray Melander
The military did some tests many years ago firing 30 caliber bullets straight up. Some bullets fell back pretty close, other were blown sideways coming down due to wind. None impacted with enough force to do serious injury. I'm not sure but maybe MythBusters did this experiment too.
Eto Demerzel
+Murray Melander They did. And myth was busted.
Inventor Knowledge
depends on the bullet but are you guys seriously trying to take that risk?
the fact that there are news of people dying of stray bullets, isn't that enough to stop doing that?
Alan Shiju
Many people had died because of this
