In the days leading up to the US Supreme Court's historic [[Heller decision]], [[gun grabbers]] everywhere hooted all their favorite [[prophecies of doom]], including the ever-popular "[[fender bender shootout]]s" prognostication, into every microphone and TV camera they could find.  Yes indeed, if the Supreme Court got rid of DC's [[Firearms Control Regulations Act of 1975|big, shiny gun ban]], there would be blood in the streets.

Sure enough, on December 19, 2009, (as the District of Columbia got dumped on by more snow then they'd seen in years) a bunch of kids were having a snowball fight in DC when a snowball hit some guy's Hummer and the driver hopped out and pulled a gun.

So there you have it, the gun grabbers were finally right about something.  Sort of.  The only problem with that is that [[Michael Baylor]] ('''NOT''' ''Elmer Baylor,'' as was initially reported by many), the clown that took a gun to a snowball fight, '''was an off-duty DC cop!'''<ref>Jason Cherkis, [http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/blogs/citydesk/2009/12/19/did-d-c-cops-overreact-to-snowball-fight-14th-and-u/#comment-701859 "Eyewitness Confirms: D.C. Cop Freaks Out Over Snowball Fight–Brandishes Gun"] ''WCP'' [[Dec. 19]], 2009.</ref>
