• Guns are more important than forests

    We live in a dry state.

    A dry state in the middle of a drought.

    A state where, however, anything goes with guns.

    A state where the NRA seems to rule the roost.

    A state where the gun lobby lives in denial.

    A state where the Arizona Citizens Defense League’s League’s Charles Heller said, “I neither accept [that bullets can cause fires] nor deny it.  I suppose it is theoretically possible.”

    This, of course, after the May Wallow fire destroyed 18,000 acres.

    A fire caused by?  

    A bullet.

    An incendiary bullet.

    An incendiary bullet that is intended to have a trail of sparks behind it.

    An incendiary bullet that is legal in the drought-dominated dry state of Arizona.

    Why?

    Gotta protect the Second Amendment rights of idiots who insist in shooting bullets intended to trail fire behind them in a dry forest.

    Sounds reasonable to me.
