This is not Afghanistan nor Iraq nor any other warzone. This is Kentucky. The insane bi-annual Knob Creek Machine Gun Show near Luisville is the largest of its kind in North America.

Boats, cars, and whole voting booths are going up in flames (angry folks !) Children may also practice their skills here.
