But it will fly in Chicago where there are no guns! Remember, “you can’t out-stupid progressives”.

"Lead and copper do not give off sparks."

No they don't, but I wouldn't put it past some idiots to shoot tracers into dry brush...I've seen it happen...on ranges where tracers were expressly forbidden.

Sparks don't start fires unless surrounded by lots of kindling, and as any good boy scout knows, even this is not an especially easy way to achieve ignition.

Shhhhhhhhh.... you're not supposed to tell anyone. It's a secret. Like the fact that steel does melt.

No but bullets can cause sparks by smashing one rock against another.

bullet hit a rock and sparked the fire

It seems the BLM stooges bought into the Hollywood notion that bullets spark. I hadn't thought through the gun control angle when this started in earnest with the First Blood series.
