No, the height of stupidity would be taking the bait and shooting when all it could accomplish was taking human lives and raising the threat of retalliation against Americans.
Accidents are bound to happen and it would be best for everyone if we all just kept our distance.
Pulling the trigger would NOT be an "accident." Without an imminent threat to anyone, it would be an intentional act of murder.
Put your e-penis back in your pants until you're willing to put your own body on the line to satisfy your blood lust. Then, keep it there until you get enough brain power to understand the operator's manual.
