Motley County is a Texas County that lies east of Lubbock. On May 13, 2011, Motley County Attorney Tom Edwards complained bitterly that the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) was responsible for a May 10th grassfire that had consumed 150 acres. He is quoted by reuters as saying that, "You can quote me on it: That bunch has a real corner on stupid." News Source (Complaing about the ATF and its supposed threat to "gun rights" has become a Texas tradition.) In this case the agency also provides a convenient scapegoat for the 2.5 million acres of wildfires of this Spring, caused by a severe drought that is in turn caused by global warming. The little fire that upset Edwards so was caused by a ATF destruction of explosives at the request of local police bomb sq
