Guns blamed for starting wildfires in parched West

FILE- In this Friday, June 22, 2012, file photo, emergency responders work on a wild land fire that is threatening homes in Saratoga Springs, Utah. In the tinder-dry West, where campfires, fireworks and even smoking cigarettes are banned across public lands, the Second Amendment still prevails. Despite dozens of wildfires sparked by target shooting across the West, state Legislatures are loathe to take up limits on firearms because of staunch opposition from guns rights advocates.
