if you are riding in a car and you toss up a Baseball, the baseball will come right back down no matter how fast the car is going. The same thing applies to the bullet, the earth adds velocity to the bullet. The difference is that the earth is not moving at the same speed everywhere. Near the poles, the earth's tangential rotational speed is pretty small compared to its speed near the equator. So if you were to fire a very large gun from the equator northward, the bullet will be in the air for a significant period of time. In that amount of time, the earth may rotate, say, 15o. The source will have moved nearly 1700 kilometers in that time. if the bullet lands at the 60th parallel, the destination point will have moved only half as much- nearly 850 kilometers. To a spy satellite rotating with the earth (in geosynchronous orbit), this would seem just normal, but if you were to map the path of the bullet on a 2-dimensional (flat) map of the earth, it would look very strange, as if an "invisible force" were acting on that bullet. This phenomenon is called the Coriolis Effect. One of the biggest practical applications of the Coriolis Effect occured during WWI, when the Germas attempted to use the Paris Gun, which had a range of 75 miles.
The rotation of the Earth has a negligible effect on a bullet fired from a gun. While the Earth rotates at a speed of around 1670 kilometers per hour (1037 miles per hour) at the equator, bullets travel at much higher speeds. Typically, bullets travel at speeds of several hundred to a few thousand kilometers per hour, making the influence of the Earth's rotation on their trajectory insignificant.

because when something goes so fast the air does not have time to move out of the way, so it makes a sound...like shooting a gun...thats what you hear the boom from.
Heat affects some glues. -Epoxies for instance, will harden much more with even mild application of heat from a hairdryer or heat gun.
no. as long as there are no obstacles present, the bullet would theoretically fall longer than the gun, because the Earth is curved, and the Earth would curve away from the bullet just a little bit before the bullet reached the Earth's surface, making the fall just a little bit longer. this effect will be magnified if the bullet moves at a very high velocity. This is essentially what happens when an object is in orbit, only when an object is in orbit, it is moving quickly enough that the Earth has completely curved out of it's falling path before it reaches the ground.
A 9mm bullet will travel approximately 2200 meters before it begins to descend to the ground. However, unless the person shooting the gun is in a open field, the bullet will not travel that far before hitting something.
That is the National Shooting Sports Foundation. They promote shooting sports. Gun control attempts to prevent ownership of guns used in shooting sports. No gun= no shooting sports.
A shooting iron is a gun.
The question can't be answered without knowing what type of shooting and what "gun" you mean (hand gun, long gun, centerfire, rimfire, muzzle loader, etc..)
by shooting it with a gun.
practice
Yes. Cold affects seals.
Shooting solder at a special solder shooting range
Gun clubs, shooting ranges
The Gatling gun.
Depends on where the gun range is.
shooting it with anything is vandalism.
Freedom.
