Normally, when they tell you to shoot for the stars you're meant to aim high, not at a crowd.
That seems insensitive. Are you referring to a recent shooting?
No, it's not a reference to any recent tragedies; I was just trying to make an analogy.
This comment comes off a little flippant and could be seen as trivializing those who are victimized by shootings. Try to consider the feelings of people affected by these kinds of tragedies before saying stuff like that.
