On a slope of loose rock the ground was so heavily littered with spent bullets that when a member of our group dragged his walking stick, the ground tinkled.

I picked up a silver-colored bullet 1½ inches long. If this was left by a hunter, he must have been looking for water buffalo.
"Authorized Journalist" Mike McCune doesn't know the difference between a shell casing and a spent bullet, nor apparently that that indicates where the shots were fired from, not where they hit. And Mike, I'd love to see you go after a water buffalo with what sounds like a varmint round.

Who better to have an absolutist opinion than the most ignorant among us? Sounds like a good reason to close a range to me.

Why not let the lunatics run the asylum? Look how well they're running The Hartford Courant.

Come on, Mike, 'fess up: it wasn't the ground that tinkled, it was you.

The tinklers are making this an expensive fight. Here's how you can help:
