Thinking earplugs are bullets is hilarious, but still... most reporters would just have reported that they saw rubber bullets in the street. 40 weeks ago Report Abuse 40 weeks ago Edit Report Abuse Link To Comment This comment has been reported.

Gone in a flash of stupidity. Of course a lot of his readers probably would have been confused too - you know - the ones who're all for gun control and think that when gun magazines are empty you throw them out. 40 weeks ago Report Abuse 40 weeks ago Edit Report Abuse Link To Comment This comment has been reported.

It is better to be thought a fool than to ask a dumbass question on Twitter and remove all doubt. Try this: go to the Google search bar in your browser and type the words 'rubber bullets'. The first link is the Wikipedia entry on baton rounds. SPOILER ALERT: they will not fit in your ear, unless fired at extremely high velocity. 40 weeks ago Report Abuse 40 weeks ago Edit Report Abuse Link To Comment This comment has been reported.
