quote:

Police officers in Kansas have appealed to residents on Twitter not to shoot their guns at tornadoes after a series of dangerous incidents came to light.


quote:

In the past, it was thought that a tornado could possibly be disrupted if it was targeted with explosive weaponry. It was suggested that a cannon, a rocket or a missile fired into the center of the tornado funnel could cause enough disruption in the waves of wind to make the entire tornado dissipate.


quote:

This theory was never actually put to the test as it was thought that it would be far too dangerous.


quote:

Now it appears that certain Americans have decided to test the idea out for themselves by targeting tornados with their personal shotguns, something which has been branded as incredibly dangerous by the authorities in the state of Kansas


quote:

There is also the chance that the tornado might absorb the gun into its funnel which may cause it to fire from a great height which could naturally be an incredibly dangerous situation.

That works on a sharknado, though, correct?

This statement is just as dumb as the idea that shooting the tornado will disrupt it.

So they admit it may work but still tell people not to do it.

More anti gun agenda.

I'd love to hear a report of a tornado ripping a mans gun from his hands, and turning it on him and firing.

It works against hurricanes and tsunamis in Kansas.

Understand the logic.

If a tornado wants my gun, it will have to pry it loose from my cold dead hands

Looks like the writer managed to slip in some anti-gun rhetoric into that little PSA.
