NRA Convention Carnage Told

(Blandson MO) Members of the National Rifle Association opened fire on each other yesterday during a rally aimed at new membership. Authorities were hesitant to estimate the casualties saying only that they are still counting.

No one knows how a simple argument over the charter of the group mushroomed into violence. Regional differences and the easy access to assault weapons are blamed for the shootings at press time. Members were sitting in very vulnerable circular seating when someone opened up. Response was quick and misdirected leaving the pro-weapons lobby crippled and disoriented.

Ironically enough, stricter background checks might have prevented the tragedy.
