So is that responsible person going to pay the millions of dollars that it took to put the fire out and rebuild all the houses destroyed? How about the lives lost, kind of hard to replace those. I work in the wildfire business and you would be surprised how many fires are caused by people doing stupid things. If it means I cant have a campfire or shoot my guns on public lands for a couple of months to keep many of these fires from starting, I am all for it and I make more money the more fires there are.
Talking about banning shooting on public land!

Exactly my point, Theat, thanks for making it better than I did. That bozo in AZ isn't being held 'responsible' for the fire he started. Nothing is going to unburn all those acres. He bought the incendiary ammo. He pulled the trigger. He's a world class dumb ass. But somehow, we all have to pay for his mistake.
Like I said, I'm not for more laws or legislating brains, but I don't really see the upside for selling that kind of ammo. I do see all sorts of downside, in the form of black stick hillsides south of Payson.
