Because the odds of you being hit by a bullet that was fired into the air is extremely low.
Not low enough, as evidenced by the deaths.
In my neighborhood on New-Years and 4th of July my neighbors are shooting off their guns into the air as though ammo was free.But yet there are no deaths or injuries.
Thankfully most gun owners aren't as stupid, not to mention that its illegal in many states as well.
The story is not people shooting into the air or people being irresponsible. Its about granting permits for people to shoot at drones, much like people are granted permits to hunt ducks and other animals. People shoot at ducks, heck some people shoot at clay pigeons, but yet there are not accidents from stray rounds.
You hunt ducks with birdshot which lacks the ability to travel for long distances while retaining terminal energy.
