At the gym the other day, I saw a CNN story that asserted in all seriousness that guns started the Colorado fires - by a bullet ricocheting off a rock and sparking the fire. The story was replete with a young soccer Mom verging on hysteria about how all the children were endangered by gun enthusiasts at the practice range. It was jaw-dropping.
And I guess even they realized it wasn’t gonna fly: I never heard or saw the preposterous claim again.
Last night one one of the Fox News programs, the host mentioned why is Obama out campaigning when he should be in Colorado and doing something to help these people losing their homes etc. Someone must have enlightened Obama because suddenly today, he announces that he is going to Colorado. Conservative news people giving him too much information that he can act upon.
I saw that story too—but I think it was in the context of one of the Utah wildfires (same difference I know—but at that time UT fires were worse tha. CO ). Anyways...the inanity of it caused that trial balloon of anti-gun propaganda failed. Epically.
