FLASHPOINT for May 01, 2007

Tuesday, May 1, 2007 | 7:16 a.m.

When you cover politics, you get news releases from all over the place. But a couple of days ago I received my first one ever from Wells, Nev. And was it a doozy. The Elko County Democratic Club was proudly announcing its inaugural (they call it "first annual") "Kicking Ass Trap Shoot." The release touted it as the "first Democratic event of its kind within the state of Nevada" and quoted the party's vice chairman saying the event proves, "The Democratic Party is not anti-gun at all." Turns out Democrats believe in the Second Amendment and background checks, according to the release. Who knew? The trap shoot attracted a whopping 65 people from across Elko County. The grand prize: a Remington Shotgun. Gotta love rural Nevada.
