What about matches, propane stoves, camp fires, cigarettes, magnifying glasses. What about lightning, yow, I'd like to see them try and ban lightning.

I see they reference 2 fires started by gunfire. I want to say at least one of them was caused by some jackhole using incendiary rounds. I wonder about the other one?



Yeah, here's the story- http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/arizona-forest-fire-879543

If they're serious about this, then maybe they should also consider restricting lightning while they're at it.....


That's just.....ALL kinds of dumb.

"The wildfire is the 21st in Utah caused by target shooting this year, state Fire Marshal Brent Halladay told The Associated Press."
I wonder where they came up with this number? This looks like a bunch of people that don't know what they're talking about. Just like the "SKS fully automatic AK47 sniper type rifle" that the uninformed demonize gun owners with.
