if bullet_state is "fire":
Multiple string objects can have the same string value. Just because
bullet_state == 'fire' does not mean that it *is* the particular object
being compared to. Leaving testing aside, 'is' should only be used when
the language mandates that there can only be one object with the value
you want. 'is None' is the most common proper use. Using 'is' when you
should use '==' is a common and hard to understand beginner bug.

For other keys, you check event.type first. Here you do not. At some
point, you asked for the key for a non-key event. Put this statement
under the keyup or keydown event type check, depending on when you want
fire to happen.
if event.type == pygame.KEYUP:
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT or event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
player_X_change = 0
