Massachusetts isn't the most fiscally prudent state in the country.

A machine gun range at Joint Base Cape Cod is a step closer to happening. The base received approval from the federal government to clear 170 acres of forest so base officials can build a machine gun range.
The National Guard Bureau, the agency in charge of making the decision, told The Associated Press that there won't be much of an environmental impact if the military builds the range.
